If you have a question about this talk, please contact Oliver Stegle .

Discovering patterns of genetic variation that influence gene regulation has the potential to impact a broad range of biological endeavours, such as improving our understanding of genetic diseases. In this talk I will review state of art techniques to identify such relations between SNPs and gene expression levels and introduce a new model that significantly improves the statistical power of eQTL studies by explicitly accounting for non-genetic factors.
