Determining Allele-Specific Protein Expression (ASPE) Using a QconCAT-Based Proteomics Method: a Novel Approach to Identify Cis-acting Genetic Variants
Abstract:Cis-acting variants regulate gene expression in an allele-specific manner, and measuring allele-specific expression (ASE) is thus a powerful approach for identifying cis-regulatory genetic variants. Most ASE studies are conducted at the mRNA level; however, the correlation between mRNA and protein expressions is very poor for many genes, and genetic variants affecting expression at the post-transcriptional level cannot be determined by measuring mRNA ASE. In the present study, we developed a novel targeted pro… Show more
