Survey of the Heritability and Sparse Architecture of Gene Expression Traits across Human Tissues.

Survey of the Heritability and Sparse Architecture of Gene Expression Traits across Human Tissues.

Understanding the genetic architecture of gene expression traits is key to elucidating the underlying mechanisms of complex traits. Here, for the first time, we perform a systematic survey of the heritability and the distribution of effect sizes across all representative tissues in the human body. W...
