Incorporating genetic similarity of auxiliary samples into eGene identification under the transfer learning framework.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The term eGene has been applied to define a gene whose expression level is affected by at least one independent expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL). It is both theoretically and empirically important to identify eQTLs and eGenes in genomic studies. However, standard eGene detection methods generally focus on individual cis-variants and cannot efficiently leverage useful knowledge acquired from...
