<h4>Background</h4>Increasing number of eQTL (Expression Quantitative Trait Loci) datasets facilitate genetics and systems biology research. Meta-analysis tools are in need to jointly analyze datasets of same or similar issue types to improve statistical power especially in trans-eQTL mapping. Meta-analysis framework is also necessary for ChrX eQTL discovery.<h4>Results</h4>We developed a novel tool, meta-eqtl, for fast eQTL meta-analysis of arbitrary sample size and arbitrary number of datasets ...[more]
