Figure 7: eeSNP-gene pairs are spatially proximal.

X axis: the rank of eeSNP-gene distance (log 10), Y axis: ChIA-pet support. SNPs from eQTeL and eqtnminer are selected as in Fig. 8. The random SNP-gene pairs were selected so as to have the same distance distribution as for eeSNPs. SNP-gene pair closer to 100 bps were excluded. The median ‘white’ lines represent LOESS (local regression) for each method. Confidence was estimated for each method just as in Fig. 6.
