Webinar: Gene Regulatory Networks and Individual-Specific Regulatory Disruptions

Webinar Abstract: The majority of disease-associated genetic variants are thought to have regulatory effects, including disruption of transcription factor (TF) binding and alteration of downstream gene expression. Identifying the way in which each person’s genotype affects their individual gene regulatory network would provide important insight into disease etiology and enable improved genotype-specific disease risk assessments and treatments...
