GVAT database

This database characterizes the allelic binding of 95,886 common human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, MAF>1% in Eeuropean and Asian populations) to 270 distinct transcription factors (TFs). The SNPs were chosen from neighboring regions (<=500 kb) of 83 risk loci of type 2 diabetes (T2D) that were identified in several genome wide association studies (GWAS). The data were generated using SNP-SELEX.

For SNPs that are not included in the SNP-SELEX experiments, we also built deltaSVM models for 94 TFs that can be used to predict allelic TF binding to any SNPs.

For detail about the SNP selection and experimental or computational pipeline, please refer to the paper under review, “Systematic Analysis of Differential Transcription Factor Binding to Non-Coding Variants in the Human Genome.”.
