Characterization of non-coding variants associated with transcription-factor binding through ATAC-seq-defined footprint QTLs in liver Dudek et al. use chromatin accessibility data in liver from 170 human donors to measure transcription factor binding at genetic variants. They observed 809 variants associated with binding. Given bind...

Our new paper is out today in AJHG! We applied a "footprinting" algorithm to ATAC-seq data from 170 livers to find non-coding variants associated with TF binding. We show that these "footprint QTLs" (#fpQTLs) can fine-map GWAS loci at base-pair resolution.

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...

Good to see @maxdudek.bsky.social on here now - here’s his recent preprint
