Very cool paper from Eddie Park and Yi Xing studying the relationship between intron retention QTLs and expression QTLs. Predictably, genetically regulated intron retention can cause changes in gene expression via nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Intron retention is a type of alternative splicing in which introns remain unspliced in mature RNA transcripts. In order to explore the landscape and consequences of genetically regulated intron reten...
