A global transcriptional network connecting noncoding mutations to changes in tumor gene expression. [PDF]
Although cancer genomes are replete with noncoding mutations, the effects of these mutations remain poorly characterized. Here we perform an integrative analysis of 930 tumor whole genomes and matched transcriptomes, identifying a network of 193 ...

DNA methylation modulated genetic variant effect on gene transcriptional regulation
Background Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis has emerged as an important tool in elucidating the link between genetic variants and gene expression, thereby bridging the gap between risk SNPs and associated diseases.

RNA-Seq optimization with eQTL gold standards. [PDF]
BackgroundRNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiments have been optimized for library preparation, mapping, and gene expression estimation. These methods, however, have revealed weaknesses in the next stages of analysis of differential expression, with results ...

PancanQTL: systematic identification of cis-eQTLs and trans-eQTLs in 33 cancer types [PDF]
Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis, which links variations in gene expression to genotypes, is essential to understanding gene regulation and to interpreting disease-associated loci. Currently identified eQTLs are mainly in samples of blood and other normal tissues. However, no database comprehensively provides eQTLs in large number of

Molecular Relationships between Bronchial Asthma and Hypertension as Comorbid Diseases
Comorbidity, a co-incidence of several disorders in an individual, is a common phenomenon. Their development is governed by multiple factors, including genetic variation.

Expression quantitative trait loci in sheep liver and muscle contribute to variations in meat traits
Background Variants that regulate transcription, such as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), have shown enrichment in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for mammalian complex traits. However, no study has reported eQTL in sheep, although it is

Systematic genetic analysis of the MHC region reveals mechanistic underpinnings of HLA type associations with disease. [PDF]
The MHC region is highly associated with autoimmune and infectious diseases. Here we conduct an in-depth interrogation of associations between genetic variation, gene expression and disease.

kruX: matrix-based non-parametric eQTL discovery [PDF]
The Kruskal-Wallis test is a popular non-parametric statistical test for identifying expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) from genome-wide data due to its robustness against variations in the underlying genetic model and expression trait distribution, but testing billions of marker-trait combinations one-by-one can become computationally ...
