Variation in gene expression is a fundamental aspect of human phenotypic variation.
Several recent studies have analyzed gene expression levels in populations of different …

We explored ancestry-related differences in the genetic architecture of whole-blood gene
expression using whole-genome and RNA sequencing data from 2,733 African Americans …

Variations in gene sequence and expression underlie much of human variability. Despite
the known biological roles of differential allelic gene expression resulting from X …

Genetic variation, through its effects on gene expression, plays a crucial role in phenotypic
variation and disease susceptibility. Recent studies from our group and others have …

Gene expression is a complex quantitative trait partially regulated by genetic variation in
DNA sequence. Population differences in gene expression could contribute to some of the …

Allelic variation of gene expression is common in humans, and is of interest because of its
potential contribution to variation in heritable traits. To identify human genes with allelic …

Full sequencing of individual human genomes has greatly expanded our understanding of
human genetic variation and population history. Here, we present a systematic analysis of …

Understanding patterns of gene-expression variation within and among human populations
will provide important insights into the molecular basis of phenotypic diversity and the …

Most existing expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping studies have been focused
on individuals of European ancestry and are underrepresented in other populations …

Family studies of individual tissues have shown that gene expression traits are genetically
heritable. Here, we investigate cis and trans components of heritability both within and …
