Abstract:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic variants 24 associated with various human phenotypes and many of these loci are thought to act at a molecular 25 level by regulating gene expression. Detection of allele specific expression (ASE), namely 26 preferential usage of an allele at a transcribed locus, is an increasingly important means of studying 27 the genetic regulation of gene expression. However, there are currently a paucity of tools available 28 to link ASE sites with… Show more
