Variant to function: Understanding disease mechanisms through integration of genetic data with epigenomic profiling
Anna Gloyn (Stanford University) and Manolis Kellis (MIT, Harvard University) discuss the challenge of obtaining a mechanistic understanding of the biology underlying GWAS associations, and how to inform prevention strategies, drug development and other public health goals by integrating genetic data with epigenomic information.
