Cause of working on Allele-Specific expression, working I am trying to know more about expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). based on definition, eQTLs are loci that control the expression level of other genes by Cis or Trans effects. Transcription factors are also proteins (product of genes) that control expression level of other genes. So the question is that, are transcription factors some kind of eQTLs? (or eQTLs are some kind of TFs?).

Consider asking this on the biology stack exchange site
Sure, but I think bioinformaticians are also acquaintance with this subject
That's not the point. The scope of this forum is bioinformatics. It's not because bioinformaticians know about Shakespeare literature that it's suddenly a good idea to ask questions about that here, too.
Agree with @andrew.j.skelton73. This is a question about biological concept, rather bioinformatics approach (the main focus of the forum).
