Significance of eQTLs relative to distance from eGene boundaries. A: 116,563 best eQTLs per eGene per dataset are shown across all 53 eQTL datasets. eQTLs located in their eGenes are plotted at 0 on the x-axis, otherwise the x-axis indicates distance of each eQTL to its eGene (from 5′: -1 Mb to 3′: +1 Mb). Not shown are 393 eQTLs with P < 1 × 10^-150 which also display a highly central tendency. B: A histogram of the number of eQTLs per kb of distance from the 5′ transcription start sites (TSS) of eGenes.
