Why it matters in GWAS

ENCODE annotations help interpret noncoding GWAS loci by linking associated variants to candidate regulatory elements, tissues, and biological mechanisms.

Example usage

"Credible set variants overlapped ENCODE enhancer marks in immune cell types."

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
