Unraveling the polygenic architecture of complex traits using blood eQTL metaanalysis

Urmo Võsa, +100 more
- 19 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is observed that cis-eQTLs can be detected for 88% of the studied genes, but that they have a different genetic architecture compared to disease-associated variants, limiting the ability to use cis- eZTLs to pinpoint causal genes within susceptibility loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale cis- and trans-eQTL analyses identify thousands of genetic loci and polygenic scores that regulate blood gene expression

Urmo Võsa, +126 more
- 02 Sep 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed cis-and trans-expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analyses using blood-derived expression from 31,684 individuals through the eQTLGen Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide genetic changes during modern breeding of maize

TL;DR: The sequencing of 278 temperate maize inbred lines from different stages of breeding history, including deep resequencing of 4 lines with known pedigree information, shows that modern breeding has introduced highly dynamic genetic changes into the maize genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic Transcriptome Landscape of Maize Embryo and Endosperm Development

TL;DR: A high-resolution spatiotemporal transcriptome atlas of maize seed uncovers the genetic control of embryo and endosperm development and correlation of gene expression with the pattern of DNA methylation revealed that hypomethylation of the gene body region should be an important factor for the expressional activation of seed-specific genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetic Architecture of Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that, compared with a meta-analysis, using individual-level data results in an increase of approximately 50% in power to detect eQTL, and approximately half the genetic variance for gene expression is not tagged by common SNPs.
