Abstract
Summary Commonly used multiplicity adjustments fail to control the error rate for reported findings in many expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies. TreeQTL implements a stage-wise multiple testing procedure which allows control of appropriate error rates defined relative to a hierarchical grouping of the eQTL hypotheses.
Availability and Implementation The R package TreeQTL is available for download at http://bioinformatics.org/treeqtl.
