Comparing allele specific expression and local expression quantitative trait loci and the influence of gene expression on complex trait variation in cattle

Abstract Background The mutations changing the expression level of a gene, or expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), can be identified by testing the association between genetic variants and gene expression in multiple individuals (eQTL mapping), or by comparing the expression of the alleles in...
