Trans-acting genetic variation affects the expression of adjacent genes
Krisna Van Dyke, Sheila Lutz, Gemechu Mekonnen…·Frank Wolfgang Albert
The paper shows trans-eQTLs in yeast can affect adjacent genes through horizontal mechanisms, not just vertical pathways, and this is linked to physical proximity and shared chromatin states.
