The Genetic Basis of Human Gene Expression Variation
Genetic variants that impact gene regulation likely play a central role in both evolution and the genetics of both complex traits. Yet the mechanisms by which they do so are poorly understood and it remains very difficult to predict which variants have regulatory effects in any given cell type. In this talk I will describe work that our group has done on mapping regulatory variants such as expression QTLs to understand the primary mechanisms by which such variants act. I will discuss both our work on analytical methods and the biological results.
