Nat Commun. 2021 Nov 19;12(1):6749. doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-27001-4. PMID: 34799566.Brief Summary: The authors used RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and promoter-focused Capture C to characterize the genetic architecture during hypothalamic differentiation. This information provides insights into mechanisms by which noncoding GWAS loci are associated with hypothalamic-regulated traits potentially mediat...
