Open Sesame: Open Chromatin Regions Shed Light onto Non-coding Risk Variants
Human genetics and stem cell biology have advanced neurobiology for neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Forrest et al. (2017) demonstrate that studying the landscape of open chromatin regions in stem cell-derived neurons helps functional interpretation of non-coding genetic variants associated with these diseases.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
