Splicing quantitative trait loci

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Splicing quantitative trait loci (abbreviated sQTLs or splicing QTLs) are quantitative trait loci that regulate alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. They can be detected using RNA-seq data.[1][2] Methods that have been developed to discover sQTLs include LeafCutter,[3] Altrans, Cufflinks, and MISO.[4]
