The frequency spectrum of chromatin accessibility in Yorubans points toward a significant role of random genetic drift in shaping the chromatin landscape
Mariah Weavil-Abueg, Joshua G. Schraiber
The paper analyzes chromatin accessibility in Yoruban cell lines and finds that low-frequency accessible regions have reduced nucleotide diversity, suggesting genetic drift influences the chromatin landscape.
