Correlation between eQTL and sQTL analyses. a Correlation of p values of eQTLs and sQTLs. Average -log10(p values) of sQTLs were plotted against -log10(p values) of eQTLs divided in five bins. b effect size (|beta|) of sQTL versus eQTL. Average |beta| of sQTLs were plotted against eQTLs with their |beta| values divided into five bins. a, b Error bars are 95% confidence intervals. Only sQTL and eQTL pairs that shared the same gene, tissue, and pMEI were included in the analysis. c The number of pMEIs detected in the eQTL or sQTL analysis. d Count of pMEIs identified in the eQTL or sQTL analysis in different allele frequency groups. The pMEIs were divided into 10 groups based on their allele frequencies so that each group has an equal number of pMEIs
