“…This approach can link putative regulatory regions with their target genes and has been applied to human pancreatic islets 73 , acute leukemia 74 , and multiple mouse tissues, including: hippocampus 75 , mammary gland 76 , T-cells 77 , and kidney among others 8,9 . In particular, genome wide association study (GWAS) risk loci can be linked to their target genes, which would complement the progress made using chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) 33 . We generated cell-type-specific ciscoaccessibility networks (CCAN) that had significant overlap with a published database 40 .…”
