Table 4 eGenes are often located within the same TAD as their linearly-furthermost, and most-significant, aseQTL/eQTL

From: Putative bovine topological association domains and CTCF binding motifs can reduce the search space for causative regulatory variants of complex traits

QTL type

Cell type

maximum number of eSNPs tested in a chromosome

Sourced TAD set
