PLOS Studies on eQTL Fine-Mapping, Leishmania Sequencing, and Elderly Burn Patients

Dec 16, 2019

In PLOS Genetics, a University of California, Los Angeles-led team outlines a computational method for fine-mapping expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) by incorporating allelic imbalance — differences in gene expression between a site on one chromosome and its partner in a diploid pair.
