Below the scale of long-range compartments and topologically associating domains (TADs) lie a diverse set of local chromatin organization features. Recent maps and single-molecule assays reveal modular sub-TAD units, nucleosome clutches, mi...
Experimental and Computational Approaches to Identify Noncoding Pathogenic Variation in Rare Disease [0.03%]
实验和计算方法识别罕见疾病中的非编码致病变异
