The effect of genetic variation on promoter usage and enhancer activity
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) are widely studied, yet the mechanisms by which they exert their effects are largely unknown. Here, performing CAGE-seq on 154 lymphoblastoid cell lines, the authors map regulatory variants associated with promoter usage (puQTLs) and enhancer activity (eaQTL...
