sQTLseekeR is a R package to detect splicing QTLs (sQTLs), which are variants associated with change in the splicing pattern of a gene. Here, splicing patterns are modeled by the relative expression of the transcripts of a gene. For more information about the method and performance see article:

Monlong, J. et al. Identification of genetic variants associated with alternative splicing using sQTLseekeR. Nat. Commun. 5:4698 doi: 10.1038/ncomms5698 (2014)

The latest version as well as more details on installation and usage can be found on sQTLseekeR github page.
