Allele-specific analyses of gene expression and chromatin state yield new insights into cis-regulatory mechanisms and their role in complex disease

Cis-regulatory variants are predicted to mediate the majority of the known common genetic associations to complex disease, yet the specific causal variants and the corresponding cis-regulatory mechanisms have thus far been poorly characterized. We attempted to address this by using allele-specific a...
