MELT call set: raw—all pMEI loci identified by MELT; HQ—high-quality loci after quality control; common—pMEIs used for the eQTL and sQTL analysis
eQTL/sQTL analysis: all—unique pMEIs in eQTL/sQTL analysis (FDR < 10%); causal—unique pMEIs identified as the causal variant; highest—unique pMEIs identified as the causal variant with the highest causal probability
