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.
