Bayesian eQTL analysis

Bayesian eQTL analysis identifies genetic variants (eQTLs) that regulate gene expression by combining genotype and RNA-seq data within a probabilistic framework. Unlike frequentist approaches that rely on p-value thresholds, the Bayesian formulation produces posterior probabilities of association, enabling principled fine-mapping of causal variants and coherent uncertainty quantification across thousands of gene-SNP pairs simultaneously.
