Effects of cis and trans genetic ancestry on gene expression in African Americans.

PLoS genetics - 1 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

Variation in gene expression is a fundamental aspect of human phenotypic variation. Several recent studies have analyzed gene expression levels in populations of different continental ancestry and reported population differences at a large number of genes. However, these differences could largely be due to non-genetic (e.g., environmental) effects. Here, we analyze gene expression levels in African American cell...
