From: Contribution of trans regulatory eQTL to cryptic genetic variation in C. elegans
Overlap in cis- and trans-eQTL between conditions. a The overlap in genes with a cis-eQTL between conditions. QTL were selected based on FDR ≤ 0.05 per condition, a QTL was scored as overlapping if the same gene had a cis-eQTL in another condition. b The overlap in genes with a trans-eQTL between conditions. QTL were selected based on FDR ≤ 0.05 per condition, a QTL was scored as overlapping if the same gene had a trans-eQTL in another condition. The location was not yet considered in this analysis (see Additional file 16A). c The three genes with a cis-eQTL displaying genotypic plasticity, where the direction of the effect switches between environments. For all three genes: C52E2.4, C54D10.9, and nhr-226 the plastic response is apparent between the heat stress and recovery treatment
