Annotating functional elements of the genome helps the interpretation of genetic variation. Here, the authors compile functional genomics data for the pig genome over 14 tissues with 15 different chromatin states, integrate the data with WGS and GWAS data, and compare conservation of regulatory elements across mouse and human tissues.
