Supplementary Figure 6: Epigenome landscape of the ST6GAL1 locus.

For variants included in 99% credible set (PPA>1%) of each distinct signal at ST6GAL1 locus, following information is shown: genomic position of each variant (colour coded for each distinct signal; variant with highest PPA in bold); whole genome bisulphite methylation data (black), 4 human islet ATAC-seq tracks (green, middle), islet chromatin states (from Thurner et al.1, Pasquali et al.2, and Varshney et al.3); and adipose, liver and skeletal muscle chromatin states from Varshney et al.3. 1 Thurner, M. et al.
