Convergence of case-specific epigenetic alterations identify a confluence of genetic vulnerabilities tied to opioid overdose
Opioid use disorder is a highly heterogeneous disease driven by a variety of genetic and environmental risk factors which have yet to be fully elucidated. Opioid overdose, the most severe outcome of opioid use...

Open AccessHotspots of aberrant enhancer activity punctuate the colorectal cancer epigenome
In addition to mutations in genes, aberrant enhancer element activity at non-coding regions of the genome is a key driver of tumorigenesis. Here, we perform epigenomic enhancer profiling of a cohort of more th...

Modeling disease risk through analysis of physical interactions between genetic variants within chromatin regulatory circuitry
Peter Scacheri and colleagues identify ‘outside’ SNPs that physically interact with GWAS risk SNPs as part of a target gene's regulatory circuitry. Their findings suggest a model whereby outside variants and G...

ZNF143 provides sequence specificity to secure chromatin interactions at gene promoters
Chromatin interactions connect distal regulatory elements to target gene promoters guiding stimulus- and lineage-specific transcription. Few factors securing chromatin interactions have so far been identified....

Open AccessEnhancer variants: evaluating functions in common disease
Gene enhancer elements are noncoding segments of DNA that play a central role in regulating transcriptional programs that control development, cell identity, and evolutionary processes. Recent studies have sho...
