Researchers Develop Method to Look for Locus-level Associations in GWAS Data

Feb 08, 2013

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – A team from the Universities of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania is finding new contributors to genetically complex common diseases or traits using a statistical strategy that harvests locus-level information from existing genome-wide association study data.
