Identifying causal variants remains a key challenge in post-GWAS (genome-wide association study) era, as many GWAS single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (including imputed ones) fall into non-coding regions, making it difficult to associate statistical significance with predicted functionality. Therefore, we created a web-based tool, Enlight, which overlays functional annotation information, such as histone modification states, methylation patterns, transcription factor binding sites, eQTL and higher-order chromosomal structure, to GWAS results.

在全基因组关联研究（GWAS）时代，识别因果变异仍然是一个关键挑战，因为许多GWAS单核苷酸多态性（SNP，包括推算出的SNP）位于非编码区域，这使得难以将统计显著性与预测的功能联系起来。因此，我们创建了一个基于网络的工具Enlight，它将功能注释信息（如组蛋白修饰状态、甲基化模式、转录因子结合位点、表达数量性状基因座和高阶染色体结构）叠加到GWAS结果上。
