In Fig. 5 and Table 1, we assess sharing for each eQTL by comparing its estimated effect in each tissue against the strongest estimated effect across all tissues. Thus, for example, if an eQTL has a very strong positive effect in one tissue and weak negative effects in all other tissues, then the number of tissues “shared by sign” for this eQTL would be 1.
