Figure 4: Classification of the major transcript changes.
From: Identification of genetic variants associated with alternative splicing using sQTLseekeR
A same sQTL can be associated to several distinct events, hence can be counted in different categories. On the x axis, the proportion of sQTLs associated to each type of major AS event (y axis) at a FDR of 5%. The control track was computed choosing randomly two transcripts among the expressed ones for genes hosting a sQTL. We note that the bars are consistently higher for sQTLseeker, meaning that a sQTL is more likely associated with several major AS events compared with trQTL or random distribution. A description of each event is shown in Supplementary Fig. 5.
