Massively parallel reporter assays and mouse transgenic assays provide complementary information about neuronal enhancer activity

Michael Kosicki, Dianne Laboy Cintrón, Nicholas F. Page, Ilias Georgakopoulos‐Soares, Jennifer A. Akiyama, Ingrid Plajzer-Frick, Catherine S. Novak, Momoe Kato, Riana D. Hunter, Kianna von Maydell, Sarah Barton, Patrick Godfrey, Erik Beckman, Stephan Sanders, Len A. Pennacchio, Nadav Ahituv

The paper combines massively parallel reporter assays and mouse transgenic assays to study the functional impact of non-coding variants on neuronal enhancer activity, finding strong correlations and additional pleiotropic effects.
