Extended Data Fig. 2: Characterization of eQTLs across stages.
From: Regulatory controls of duplicated gene expression during fiber development in allotetraploid cotton
a, Compared with specific eQTLs, shared eQTLs have markedly higher effects (P < 2.2 × 10−16, two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test). b, Genes with stage-shared eQTL were linked to the number of shared stages. The pie diagram indicates the proportion of gene pairs that had different types of eQTLs. c, Distribution of the number of stages in which cis-eQTLs were shared by significance (up) or magnitude (down). cis-eQTL magnitude was defined to be shared when the effect estimate outputted by mash was within 2 folds. cis-eQTL was defined significant with a mash local false sign rate (LFSR < 0.05). d, Comparison of effect sizes of stage-shared eQTLs between stages. The effect size was estimated by mash.
