A SUPER Powerful Method for Genome Wide Association Study
Genome-Wide Association Studies shed light on the identification of genes underlying human diseases and agriculturally important traits. This potential has been shadowed by false positive findings. The Mixed Linear Model (MLM) method is flexible enough to simultaneously incorporate population structure and cryptic relationships to reduce false positives. However, its intensive computational bur...
متن کاملMGAS: a powerful tool for multivariate gene-based genome-wide association analysis
MOTIVATION Standard genome-wide association studies, testing the association between one phenotype and a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are limited in two ways: (i) traits are often multivariate, and analysis of composite scores entails loss in statistical power and (ii) gene-based analyses may be preferred, e.g. to decrease the multiple testing problem. RESULTS Here ...
متن کاملGenome-wide Association Studies
Progress in probabilistic generative models has accelerated, developing richer models with neural architectures, implicit densities, and with scalable algorithms for their Bayesian inference. However, there has been limited progress in models that capture causal relationships, for example, how individual genetic factors cause major human diseases. In this work, we focus on two challenges in par...

متن کاملGenome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies are best understood as an extension of candidate gene association studies, scaled up to cover hundreds of thousands of markers across the genome in samples usually of several thousand cases and controls. The GWA approach allows the detection of much smaller effect sizes than with previous linkage-based genome-wide studies. However, this sensitivity makes th...
