  1. The number of eQTLs are grouped into transcript-only, exon-only and both and further classified by cis-acting and trans-acting. “Transcript-only” are eQTLs found only at the transcript-level. “Exon-only” are eQTLs found only at the exon-level. “Both” are eQTLs found at both the transcript-level and at the exon-level within the transcript. Due to these definitions, the numbers under the “Both” column include both transcript-level and exon-level eQTLs. There may also be overlapping numbers of eQTLs between the regions as some eQTLs may have been detected in several regions.
