Fig. 5From: Polymorphic mobile element insertions contribute to gene expression and alternative splicing in human tissuesExperimental validation of eQTLs (a) and sQTLs (b). Gene names were labeled in the x-axis, and those underlined showed the effects in the same direction as predicted in the computational analysis. For sQTL experiments, one constitutive exon was included with the alternative exon. Results are shown for the ME-containing construct and the construct without the ME. In b, the direction of the arrow represents the strand of the ME on the chromosome. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
