Exploiting genetic variation to uncover rules of transcription factor binding and chromatin accessibility

Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) can affect chromatin occupancy by transcription factors (TF). Here the authors mine naturally occurring SNVs to probe cis elements and define contextual sequences that govern in vivo transcription factor chromatin occupancy and chromatin accessibility.
