About eQTLbrowser

eQTL has many unique roles in disease research, and the discovery of disease-related eQTL combined with GWAS to identify relevant genetic variation loci complements the limitations of GWAS.

At the same time, eQTL can help explain the role of genetic variation loci in disease pathogenesis, showing its function from a genetic perspective.

The downstream analysis of eQTL usually does not need special analysis tools but with the previous analysis process. The comprehensive analysis of eQTL and GWAS is the most widely used at present, and many related tools have appeared.

Here, we introduce some efficient and systematic tools to achieve the analysis.

Expressionquantitative trait locus (eQTL) is a genetic variation using gene expression as a quantitative trait to study the correlation between gene mutations and gene expression. It can reveal the regulatory mechanisms by which specific gene expression is involved in disease progression, helping scientists better understand the function of genetic variation.
