Telescoping bimodal latent Dirichlet allocation to identify expression QTLs across tissues.

Abstract excerpt

Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), or single-nucleotide polymorphisms that affect average gene expression levels, provide important insights into context-specific gene regulation. Classic eQTL analyses use one-to-one association tests, which test gene-variant pairs individually and ignore correlations induced by gene regulatory networks and linkage disequilibrium. Probabilistic topic models, such as...
