Co-expression analysis reveals interpretable gene modules controlled by trans-acting genetic variants.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the causal processes that contribute to disease onset and progression is essential for developing novel therapies. Although trans-acting expression quantitative trait loci (trans-eQTLs) can directly reveal cellular processes modulated by disease variants, detecting trans-eQTLs remains challenging due to their small effect sizes. Here, we analysed gene expression and genotype data from six blood cell...
