Additional file 2 of MARS: leveraging allelic heterogeneity to increase power of association testing

Additional file 2 Extra eGenes identified by MARS but not by GTEx v6. have been reported by other studies. We used the Whole Blood data of GTEx v6 and identified 2,043 extra eGenes that were not reported by the GTEx consortium (GTEx v6). We compared those extra eGenes with a newer version of data recently published by the GTEx consortium, GTEx v7, as the newer version of the data is expected to contain more eGenes with a bigger sample size. In addition, we compared those extra eGenes with the eGenes reported by Framingham Heart Study (FHS) data that has a large number of samples, 5257 samples, using the Whole Blood data. In each column, ‘0’ indicates the gene is not identified as an eGene and ‘1’ indicates the gene is identified as an eGene.
