Abstract
Understanding how genetic variation impacts gene expression is a major goal of genomics; however, only a fraction of disease-associated loci have been demonstrated to impact gene expression when cells are in an unperturbed "steady state." In this issue of Cell Genomics, Lin et al.1 investigate how exposure to a particular cellular context (i.e., a high-cholesterol, high-fat diet) can enhance our ability to identify new regulatory variants through longitudinal sampling of three tissue types in the baboon.
