Motivated by the inquiries of weak signals in underpowered genome-wide association studies (GWASs), we consider the problem of retaining true signals that are not strong enough to be individually separable from a large amount of noise. We…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci at very stringent levels of statistical significance across many different human traits. However, it is now clear that very large samples (n~10^4-10^5) are needed to…
Recent studies demonstrate that effective healthcare can benefit from using the human genomic information. For instance, analysis of tumor genomes has revealed 140 genes whose mutations contribute to cancer. As a result, many institutions…
Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), disease susceptible genetic variables can be identified by comparing the genetic data of individuals with and without a specific disease. However, the discovery of these associations poses a…
In genome-wide association (GWA) studies the goal is to detect association between one or more genetic markers and a given phenotype. The number of genetic markers in a GWA study can be in the order hundreds of thousands and therefore…
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are used to identify statistically significant genetic variants in case-control studies. GWAS typically use a p-value threshold of 5 x 10-8 to identify highly ranked single nucleotide polymorphisms…
