Venn diagram of significant eQTLs identified by meta-analysis methods in the GTEx dataset. We compared mcLMM using the fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE2) models in METASOFT to mash. Note that areas are not proportional to the number of eQTLs in each region. mcLMM+METASOFT (RE2) identified a total of 321,117 significant associations that contained 225,818 eQTLs identified by mash.
