Expression data from early passage UACC melanoma cell lines

eQTL is a powerful method to detect genotype-expression correlation. To be able to identify the genes whose expression levels are correlated with melanoma-associated common variants, eQTL analysis was performed in 59 early passage melanoma cell lines To perform eQTL analysis, 59 early passage melanoma cell line collected through University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) were grown in culture and harvested at log phase. RNA was extracted using method described below.
