Leveraging gene expression and local ancestry to investigate regulatory epistasis in humans
Epistasis is a phenomenon wherein the effect of a genetic variant on a phenotype is dependent on the genomic context. Better understanding epistastic relationships between variants, often termed interactions, can shed light on novel genomic loci associated with complex disease, which may improve our...
