Gene expression
In this lab, we’ll use data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project to explore how genetic variation impacts gene expression.
Learning objectives
After completing this chapter, you’ll be able to:
- Define expression and splicing quantitative trait loci.
- Explain the challenge of multiple testing in eQTL studies and how it is typically handled.
- Navigate the GTEx Portal to find expression data for genes of interest.
