A computational method to detect epistatic effects contributing to a quantitative trait.

Abstract excerpt

We develop a new computational method to detect epistatic effects that contribute to a complex quantitative trait. Rather than looking for epistatic effects that show statistical significance when considered in isolation, we search for a close approximation to the quantitative trait by a sum of epistatic effects. Our search algorithm consists of a sequence of random walks around the space of sums of epistatic...
