GWAS quality score for evaluating associated regions in GWAS analyses
Abstract Motivation The number of significantly associated regions reported in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for polygenic traits typically increases with sample size. A traditional tool for quality control and identification of significant regions has been a visual inspection of how ...

TIGA: target illumination GWAS analytics [PDF]
Abstract Motivation Genome-wide association studies can reveal important genotype–phenotype associations; however, data quality and interpretability issues must be addressed. For drug discovery scientists seeking to prioritize targets based on the available evidence, these issues go beyond the ...

Achieving GWAS with homomorphic encryption [PDF]
Abstract Background One way of investigating how genes affect human traits would be with a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Genetic markers, known as single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), are used in GWAS. This raises privacy and security concerns as these genetic markers can be used to identify individuals uniquely.

Maximum difference analysis: a new empirical method for genome-wide association studies
The availability of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) panels for humans and, recently, for several livestock species has given a great impulse to genome-wide association studies towards the identification of genes associated with complex
