Putative bovine topological association domains and CTCF binding motifs can reduce the search space for causative regulatory variants of complex traits

Abstract Background Topological association domains (TADs) are chromosomal domains characterised by frequent internal DNA-DNA interactions. The transcription factor CTCF binds to conserved DNA sequence patterns called CTCF binding motifs to either prohibit or facilitate chromosomal interactions. TAD...
