Funded Activity Summary

There is strong evidence that much of the genetic susceptibility to disease acts through altering way genes are turned into proteins via RNA transcripts. One important problem in using transcriptomic data to study diseases is that the genetic control of RNA transcription is known to vary between tissues. This study will use new methods and RNA data from 45 human tissues to show the degree of common genetic control for each RNA transcript between each pair of tissues.
