LORSEN: Fast and Efficient eQTL Mapping With Low Rank Penalized Regression

Characterization of genetic variations that are associated with gene expression levels is essential to understand cellular mechanisms that underline human complex traits. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping attempts to identify genetic variants, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms...
