요약	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.	eQTL analysis identifies genomic loci (variants, typically SNPs) whose genotype statistically associates with variation in the expression level of one or more genes. By jointly profiling DNA-level variation and RNA-level expression in the same individuals, eQTL studies decode the regulatory grammar of the genome — revealing which variants control how much a gene is transcribed, in which tissues, and under what conditions.
