Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of putative disease-causing variants with unknown regulatory effects. Efforts to connect these variants with splicing quantitative trait loci (sQTLs) have provided functional insights, yet sQTLs reported by existing methods cannot explain many GWAS signals. We show that current sQTL modeling approaches can be improved by considering alternative...
