Single-nucleotide variants in enhancers or promoters may affect gene transcription by altering transcription factor binding sites. Here the authors present a meta-analysis empowered by a new statistical method covering thousands of ChIP-Seq experiments resulting in the identification of more than 500 thousand allele-specific binding (ASB) events in the human genome.
