Rezumat	Multi-omics eQTL analysis maps genetic variants (SNPs or structural variants) to molecular phenotypes simultaneously across multiple omics layers — transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, and metabolome — in the same cohort. By linking genotype to gene expression and then tracing those effects through downstream molecular layers, the approach reveals how genetic variation propagates through the molecular machinery of a cell, yielding mechanistic insight that no single-omics eQTL study can provide.	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.
