DeepSAGE reveals genetic variants associated with alternative polyadenylation and expression of coding and non-coding transcripts.

Many disease-associated variants affect gene expression levels (expression quantitative trait loci, eQTLs) and expression profiling using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology is a powerful way to detect these eQTLs. We analyzed 94 total blood samples from healthy volunteers with DeepSAGE to g...
