A map of open chromatin in human pancreatic islets
2010
Jorge Ferrer, Jason Lieb, and Karen Mohlke and colleagues identify regulatory DNA active in human pancreatic islets by formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE) coupled with high-throughput sequencing. They identified 80,000 open chromatin sites and 3,300 islet-selective open chromatin sites and found that a TCF7L2 intronic variant associated with type 2 diabetes is located in islet-selective open chromatin.
