Map position of eQTL. Genetic position of the significant eQTL associations found in biological replicate 1. Genetic position of SNP marker (cM by chromosome) most significantly associated with the differential transcript abundance, x-axis. Genetic position of gene being measured by unique microarray probe, y-axis. The most significant associations (blue, KS p-value ≤ 1E^-15) generally function in cis (diagonal line) where the eQTL and the transcript being measured map to the same genetic position. The weaker associations (pink, KS p-value ≥ 10^-15) generally function in trans (periphery) where the eQTL maps to a position other than the transcript being measured.
