This paper presents an interesting method using Random Forests to jointly model static (fixed effects across cell types), conditional (cell type specific), and dynamic (drives expression differences between cell types) eQTLs (see Figure 1). They note a large increase in the number of trans eQTLs identified (due to increased power), which actually represent the majority of eQTLs.
