About methQTL
SNP is the most common type of genetic variation found in the human genome and other organisms. A SNP is a variation at a single position in a DNA sequence where one nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) differs between individuals within a population or species, and this variation is present in a sufficiently large fraction of the population (generally regarded as 1% or more). QTLs are genomic regions associated with variations in quantitative traits such as gene expression levels, protein levels, or phenotypic traits, while MethQTLs specifically refer to QTLs associated with DNA methylation levels. Additionally, there are three types of SNP genotypes.
