Elimination of Reference Mapping Bias Reveals Robust Immune Related Allele-Specific Expression in Crossbred Sheep

Pervasive allelic variation at both gene and single nucleotide level (SNV) between individuals is commonly associated with complex traits in humans and animals. Allele-specific expression (ASE) analysis, using RNA-Seq, can provide a detailed annotation of allelic imbalance and infer the existence of...
