Analytical methods to identify genes for complex traits in Genome

Current methods for GWA studies look for the association of simple DNA variants (eg, SNPs) with a complex trait of interest reducing the complexity of the approach to “n” simple univariate tests, with “n” equal to the total number of DNA variants under scrutiny. In this case, analyzing the genetic b ...
