Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions (outside genes), and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through modulating regulatory mechanism. Read more
