Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are moving increasingly toward evaluating signals in a tissue-specific, disease-relevant environment. For example, exploring data in these contexts could provide clarity for disease processes that alter gene regulation in a specific tissue for a given complex trait. However, there are currently limited resources and data to perform this type of analysis. In this issue, Çalışkan et al. develop an approach for annotating and fine-mapping regulatory regions in the liver.
