説明

<jats:title>DNA Differences</jats:title> <jats:p> The extent to which genetic variation affects an individual's phenotype has been difficult to predict because the majority of variation lies outside the coding regions of genes. Now, three studies examine the extent to which genetic variation affects the chromatin of individuals with diverse ancestry and genetic variation (see the Perspective by <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6159" page="705" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="342" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1246755"> <jats:bold>Furey and Sethupathy</jats:bold> </jats:related-article> ). <jats:bold> Kasowski <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> </jats:bold> (p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6159" page="750" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="342" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1242510">750</jats:related-article> , published online 17 October) examined how genetic variation affects differences in chromatin states and their correlation to histone modifications, as well as more general DNA binding factors. <jats:bold> Kilpinen <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> </jats:bold> (p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6159" page="744" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="342" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1242463">744</jats:related-article> , published online 17 October) document how genetic variation is linked to allelic specificity in transcription factor binding, histone modifications, and transcription. <jats:bold> McVicker <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> </jats:bold> (p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6159" page="747" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="342" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1242429">747</jats:related-article> , published online 17 October) identified how quantitative trait loci affect histone modifications in Yoruban individuals and established which specific transcription factors affect such modifications. </jats:p>
