Motif signatures in stretch enhancers are enriched for disease-associated genetic variants

BACKGROUND: Stretch enhancers (SEs) are large chromatin-defined regulatory elements that are at least 3,000 base pairs (bps) long, in contrast to the median enhancer length of 800 bps. SEs tend to be cell-type specific, regulate cell-type specific gene expression, and are enriched in disease-associa...
