Description

meta-tissue website  

Meta-Tissue is a free software for identifying eQTLs from multiple tissues. It uses meta-analysis to combine results from multiple tissues. As the above picture shows, studies may not detect eQTLs in any of 4 tissues (cortex, heart, liver, spleen). However, by combining results of 4 tissues, we may detect eQTLs. Hence, Meta-Tissue is a powerful approach to detect eQTLs shared across multiple tissues.

Environment Modules

Run module spider meta-tissue to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

  • HPC_META-TISSUE_DIR - installation directory
