Paired genomic DNA and cDNA samples obtained from lymphoblastoid cell lines from CEU and YRI HapMap individuals were hybridized to custom Illumina SNP arrays to study allele-specific expression in this tissue.
Studies correlating genetic variation to gene expression facilitate the interpretation of common human phenotypes and disease. As functional variants may be operating in a tissue-dependent manner, we performed gene expression profiling and association with genetic variants (SNPs) on three cell types...
