Sequence-to-expression approach to identify etiological non-coding DNA variations in P53 and cMYC-driven diseases

Katherine Kin, Shounak G. Bhogale, Lisha Zhu, Derrick Thomas, Jéssica Wildgrube Bertól, Wenjin Jim Zheng, Saurabh Sinha, Walid D. Fakhouri

The paper identifies non-coding DNA variations affecting P53 and cMYC-driven diseases by analyzing co-occupancy of these transcription factors and correlating DNA variations with gene expression changes.
