Genetic Variant Selection: Learning Across Traits and Sites.

Abstract excerpt

We consider resequencing studies of associated loci and the problem of prioritizing sequence variants for functional follow-up. Working within the multivariate linear regression framework helps us to account for the joint effects of multiple genes; and adopting a Bayesian approach leads to posterior probabilities that coherently incorporate all information about the variants' function. We describe two novel prior...
