Abstract excerpt
Association studies are widely seen as the most promising approach for finding polymorphisms that influence genetically complex traits, such as common diseases and responses to their treatment. Considerable interest has therefore recently focused on the development of methods that efficiently screen genomic regions or whole genomes for gene variants associated with complex phenotypes. One key element in this...
