TreeQTL: hierarchical error control for eQTL findings

UNLABELLED : Commonly used multiplicity adjustments fail to control the error rate for reported findings in many expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies. TreeQTL implements a hierarchical multiple testing procedure which allows control of appropriate error rates defined relative to a grouping of the eQTL hypotheses. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The R package TreeQTL is available for download at http://bioinformatics.org/treeqtl CONTACT [email protected] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
