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 ...

A major challenge in translating findings from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to biological mechanisms is pinpointing functional variants because only a very small percentage of variants associated with a given trait actually impact the trait. We

We read with interest the recent article ‘Genome-wide association studies in lung disease’ by Artigas et al. 1 While we agree that a greater understanding of the biological pathways underlying disease development and progression (susceptibility) will be a major outcome from these genetic epidemiological studies, we suggest other benefits may also stem ...

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

Unifying candidate gene and GWAS Approaches in Asthma. [PDF]
The first genome wide association study (GWAS) for childhood asthma identified a novel major susceptibility locus on chromosome 17q21 harboring the ORMDL3 gene, but the role of previous asthma candidate genes was not specifically analyzed in this GWAS ...

Rpv34: the noval Plasmopara viticola resistance locus in 'Moldova'
Downy mildew (DM), caused by Plasmopara viticola, is one of the most serious diseases that affects grape production worldwide. Utilizing host resistance, commonly known as 'R' genes, is considered the most effective way to cure the disease.
