Here, the authors perform ATAC-seq on four distinct cell populations from three different regions of the human brain, finding that chromatin accessibility varies greatly by cell type and less by brain region. This study reveals differences in biological function and gene regulation, as well as overlap of genetic variants associated with schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric traits.
A comprehensive evaluation of genomic interaction of schizophrenia with other medical conditions derived from HiC interactions within midbrain dopaminergic neurons.
Identifying functional variants underlying disease risk and adoption of personalized medicine are currently limited by the challenge of interpreting the functional consequences of genetic variants. Predicting the functional effects of …
