Phenotype File In Plink

Question

[ninaalassaf]

Hello, I have been given a .map, .ped, and .pheno file for an eQTL analysis. The pheno files holds gene expression values, and my question is how is the gene expression values collected in general?

Thanks in advance.

Chip data or RNA seq data. Maybe you should talk with the people who generated the data?

[ninaalassaf]

I will, but wanted to get a bigger picture of how the gene expression is quantified prior to the meeting. Thank you!

If you have thousands of expression values, it should be by microarray.

I do. I appreciate your reply, thanks!
