  • Nelson Freimer and colleagues analyze gene expression data from multiple tissue samples combined with genotype data from vervet monkeys to catalog expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). They generate a transcriptome resource analogous to the GTEx project and perform comparative and eQTL enrichment analyses for various traits. By analyzing multitissue gene expression and genome-wide genetic variation data in samples from a vervet monkey pedigree, we generated a transcriptome resource and produced the first catalog of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in a nonhuman primate model. This catalog contains more genome-wide significant eQTLs per sample than comparable human resources and identifies sex- and age-related expression patterns. Findings include a master regulatory locus that likely has a role in immune function and a locus regulating hippocampal long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), whose expression correlates with hippocampal volume. This resource will facilitate genetic investigation of quantitative traits, including brain and behavioral phenotypes relevant to neuropsychiatric disorders.
