SigMod: an exact and efficient method to identify a strongly interconnected disease-associated module in a gene network.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Apart from single marker-based tests classically used in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), network-assisted analysis has become a promising approach to identify a set of genes associated with disease. To date, most network-assisted methods aim at finding genes connected in a background network, whatever the density or strength of their connections. This can hamper the findings as sparse...
