Novel statistical methods for human gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis (R01): Purpose. This FOA solicits applications to develop innovative statistical methods to detect the influence of genetic variation on tissue-specific gene expression and regulation. The goal of the FOA is to seek proposals to develop statistical methods to appropriately analyze the forthcoming complex data sets generated by the NIH Roadmap initiative entitled Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project. Applicants are encouraged to take advantage of existing tissue-specific gene expression datasets and/or simulated datasets, but will also be strongly encouraged to utilize GTEx-generated data, if and when it is available.
