Description & Details: The correct function of regulatory elements and their interplay are essential for the precisely coordinated transcriptional activities within a cell. Disrupted regulatory activities may therefore have detrimental effects leading to disease. However, most variants have no or an only weakly associated trait and, in general, the impact of genetic variants on regulation is not well understood. Therefore, using our established accurate transcription-based method to assess activities of regulatory elements and the associations between them, we aim to systematically characterize human regulatory variation and its consequences. We further aim to infer models describing the function of a regulatory element and its importance, and thus the impact on regulation upon disruption.
