Visualize associations for any gene-variant pairs in all or a selection of
tissues.
-
All results, including non-significant ones, are visualized in a grid of
violin plots grouped in rows by the gene-variant pairs and in columns by
tissues.
-
Each violin plot shows three quantile-normalized expression distributions
of the genotypes: homozygous reference, heterozygous, and homozygous
alternative alleles.
-
When an eQTL is significant (i.e. p-value below the tissue-gene-specific
p-value threshold based on a 5% FDR), its p-value is highlighted in red.
-
Note that the set of genotyped SNPs and the sample size can differ among
datasets, so the absence of significant associations in some tissues is
not necessarily biologically meaningful.
-
Also note that the group medians, shown in pink, do not necessarily
reflect the effects measured by the eQTL linear regression tests, and that
any influence of covariates on the test results would not be visible in
these violin plots.
