Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Identifying cis-acting genetic variants associated with gene expression levels-an analysis commonly referred to as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) mapping-is an important first step toward understanding the genetic determinant of gene expression variation. Successful eQTL mapping requires effective control of confounding factors. A common method for confounding effects control in eQTL...
