Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Identification of expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL), the genetic loci that contribute to heritable variation in gene expression, can be obstructed by factors that produce variation in expression profiles if these factors are unmeasured or hidden from direct analysis. METHODS: We have developed a method for Hidden Expression Factor analysis (HEFT) that identifies individual and pleiotropic...
