Pervasive <i>cis</i> effects of variation in copy number of large tandem repeats on local epigenetics and gene expression

2020-12-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) are composed of large tandemly repeated motifs, many of which are highly polymorphic in copy number. However, due to their large size and repetitive nature, they remain poorly studied. To investigate the regulatory potential of VNTRs, we used read-depth data from Illumina whole genome sequencing to perform association analysis between copy number of ~70,000...
