eQTL variant distance to TSS in a normal and b in tumor. We observe stronger eQTL effect close to the transcription start site of TE and genes in both normal (two-sided Wilcoxon, p = 2.4e−12) and tumor (two-sided Wilcoxon, p = 4.8e−7). Number of secondary eQTLs for TEs and genes in c normal and d tumor. Gene eQTLs have more functionally independent eQTLs per gene than TEs do. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
