Area of Science:

Genetics
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

Identifying cis-eGenes is crucial for understanding gene regulation.
Current methods like FastQTL are computationally intensive, and others like eigenMT and TreeQTL lack statistical power.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce ClipperQTL, a novel and efficient method for cis-eGene identification.
To provide a faster and statistically robust alternative to existing cis-eGene analysis tools.

Main Methods:

Developed ClipperQTL, a method requiring only one permutation for large datasets (>450 samples).
Evaluated ClipperQTL's performance against established methods like FastQTL, eigenMT, and TreeQTL.

Main Results:

ClipperQTL achieves comparable accuracy to FastQTL.
ClipperQTL demonstrates a speed improvement of up to 500 times compared to FastQTL.
The method is effective for both large and smaller sample sizes.

Conclusions:

ClipperQTL offers a computationally efficient and statistically sound approach for cis-eGene identification.
The availability of the ClipperQTL R package facilitates its adoption in genetic research.
