Elucidating disease-associated mechanisms triggered by pollutants via the epigenetic landscape using large-scale ChIP-Seq data.

Highlighting genome-wide chromatin change upon pollutant exposure to elucidate the epigenetic landscape of pollutant responses outperformed our previously described method that focuses on gene-adjacent domains only. Our approach has the potential to reveal pivotal TFs that mediate deleterious effects of pollutants, thereby facilitating the development of strategies to mitigate damage from environmental pollution.
