Підсумок	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.	A genome-wide association study (GWAS) systematically tests hundreds of thousands to millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the human genome for statistical association with a trait or disease. By comparing allele frequencies between cases and controls — or by regressing SNP genotypes on a quantitative phenotype — GWAS identifies genomic loci that harbor common genetic variants contributing to complex traits. Since its large-scale debut in 2007, GWAS has catalogued thousands of robust disease–variant associations across virtually every common human condition.
