Hierarchical annotation of eQTLs by H-eQTL enables identification of genes with cell type-divergent regulation

Abstract While context-type-specific regulation of genes is largely determined by cis-regulatory regions, attempts to identify cell type-specific eQTLs are complicated by the nested nature of cell types. We present hierarchical eQTL (H-eQTL), a network-based model for hierarchical annotation of bulk...
