Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis is an approach for identifying how genetic variation between individuals contributes to inter-individual differences in gene expression. In this SnapShot, we describe the basic principles of eQTL analysis and its applications to diverse molecular traits of the cell measured by genomics and proteomics assays.
