Comparison of the powers of TReC, ASE, and TReCASE for eQTL mapping. “500 × 65” indicates the baseline situation that μAA = 500 and sample size N = 65. “1000 × 65”, “650 × 100” , and “500 × 130” indicate three strategies to improve power by increasing the number of reads per sample, increasing the sample size, or both. Similar to Figure 2, a p-value cut-off of 0.05 is used to call significance, and power is calculated as the percentage of simulations where the p-values are smaller than 0.05, among 2,000 simulations. The horizontal dash line at the bottom of each figure corresponds to a power of 0.05.
