Cell-specific histone modification maps in the human frontal lobe link schizophrenia risk to the neuronal epigenome
Risk variants for schizophrenia affect more than 100 genomic loci, yet cell- and tissue-specific
roles underlying disease liability remain poorly characterized. We have generated for two …
