MOTIVATION: As a promising tool for dissecting the genetic basis of complex
traits, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping has attracted
increasing research interest. An important issue in eQTL mapping is how to
effectively integrate networks representing interactions among genetic markers
and genes. Recently, several Lasso-based methods have been proposed to leverage
such network information. Despite their success, existing methods have three
common limitations: (i) a preprocessing step is usually needed to cluster the
networks; (ii) the incompleteness of the networks and the noise in them are not
considered; (iii) other available information, such as location of genetic
markers and pathway information are not integrated. RESULTS: To address the
limitations of the existing methods, we propose Graph-regularized Dual Lasso
(GDL), a robust approach for eQTL mapping. GDL integrates the correlation
structures among genetic markers and traits simultaneously. It also takes into
account the incompleteness of the networks and is robust to the noise. GDL
utilizes graph-based regularizers to model the prior networks and does not
require an explicit clustering step. Moreover, it enables further refinement of
the partial and noisy networks. We further generalize GDL to incorporate the
location of genetic makers and gene-pathway information. We perform extensive
experimental evaluations using both simulated and real datasets. Experimental
results demonstrate that the proposed methods can effectively integrate various
available priori knowledge and significantly outperform the state-of-the-art eQTL
mapping methods. AVAILABILITY: Software for both C++ version and Matlab version
