Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Number of unique genes with detected eQTLs (FDR < 0.1) on observed (circle) and full (observed plus imputed; rhombus) GTEx data. Note logarithmic scale of y axis. The eQTLs were mapped using Matrix eQTL 55 , 70 assuming an additive genotype effect on gene expression. Matrix eQTL conducts a test for each single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)–gene pair and makes adjustments for multiple comparisons by computing the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR 71.
