Computational approaches to disease-gene prediction: rationale, classification and successes.

Abstract excerpt

The identification of genes involved in human hereditary diseases often requires the time-consuming and expensive examination of a great number of possible candidate genes, since genome-wide techniques such as linkage analysis and association studies frequently select many hundreds of 'positional' candidates. Even considering the positive impact of next-generation sequencing technologies, the prioritization of...
