My foray into video creation! This is my entry into #SoME4, an annual exposition of math-explainers. A friendly introduction to hypothesis testing, with minimal math background required.

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.

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...

Good to see @maxdudek.bsky.social on here now - here’s his recent preprint
PREPRINT: Co-mentored with Laura Almasy, & formerly Casey Brown, @cambupenn.bsky.social grad student Max Dudek reports non-coding variants associated with TF binding via ATAC-seq-defined footprint QTLs (#fpQTLs) across 170 liver samples (generated by Brandon Wenz).

Characterization of non-coding variants associated with transcription factor binding through ATAC-seq-defined footprint QTLs in liver
Non-coding variants discovered by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are enriched in regulatory elements harboring transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, strongly suggesting a connection betwee...
