DNA variants affecting the expression of numerous genes in trans have diverse mechanisms of action and evolutionary histories.

Abstract excerpt

DNA variants that alter gene expression contribute to variation in many phenotypic traits. In particular, trans-acting variants, which are often located on different chromosomes from the genes they affect, are an important source of heritable gene expression variation. However, our knowledge about the identity and mechanism of causal trans-acting variants remains limited. Here, we developed a fine-mapping...
