Effect of read-mapping biases on detecting allele-specific expression from RNA-sequencing dataJacob F Degner
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, 920 E 58th St, CLSC 507, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Bioinformatics 25:3207-12. 2009..Here, we investigate the impact of SNP variation on the reliability of read-mapping in the context of detecting allele-specific expression (ASE)...
Dissecting the regulatory architecture of gene expression QTLsDaniel J Gaffney
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, 920 E58th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Genome Biol 13:R7. 2012..Using the HapMap lymphoblastoid cell lines, we combine 1000 Genomes genotypes and an extensive catalogue of human functional elements to investigate the biological mechanisms that eQTLs perturb...
DNase I sensitivity QTLs are a major determinant of human expression variationJacob F Degner
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Nature 482:390-4. 2012..Our observations indicate that dsQTLs are highly abundant in the human genome and are likely to be important contributors to phenotypic variation...
DNA methylation patterns associate with genetic and gene expression variation in HapMap cell linesJordana T Bell
Department of Human Genetics, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Genome Biol 12:R10. 2011..Here we measured methylation levels at 22,290 CpG dinucleotides in lymphoblastoid cell lines from 77 HapMap Yoruba individuals, for which genome-wide gene expression and genotype data were also available...
Understanding mechanisms underlying human gene expression variation with RNA sequencingJoseph K Pickrell
Department of Human Genetics, The University of Chicago, Chicago 60637, USA
Nature 464:768-72. 2010..Our results illustrate the power of high-throughput sequencing for the joint analysis of variation in transcription, splicing and allele-specific expression across individuals...
The contribution of RNA decay quantitative trait loci to inter-individual variation in steady-state gene expression levelsAthma A Pai
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA
PLoS Genet 8:e1003000. 2012..By analyzing our data within the context of known steady-state eQTLs, we estimate that a substantial fraction of eQTLs are associated with inter-individual variation in mRNA decay rates...
Accurate inference of transcription factor binding from DNA sequence and chromatin accessibility dataRoger Pique-Regi
Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Genome Res 21:447-55. 2011..We anticipate that this approach will be a valuable tool for genome-wide studies of gene regulation in a wide variety of cell types or tissues under diverse conditions...
