Резюме	Differential eQTL analysis identifies genetic variants — expression quantitative trait loci — whose regulatory effect on gene expression varies systematically across biological conditions such as tissue types, disease states, developmental stages, or treatment groups. By testing for statistical interactions between genotype and condition, the method pinpoints loci where the same allele has different transcriptional consequences depending on context, revealing the molecular basis of condition-specific gene regulation.	Single-cell eQTL analysis identifies genetic variants (eQTLs) that regulate gene expression in a cell-type-specific manner by jointly analysing single-cell RNA-seq profiles and donor genotype data. Unlike bulk eQTL methods, it resolves regulatory effects that are diluted or masked when cell types are mixed, enabling discovery of variants whose effects are confined to particular cell states or developmental stages.
