Prediction of gene expression with cis-SNPs using mixed models and regularization methods.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It has been shown that gene expression in human tissues is heritable, thus predicting gene expression using only SNPs becomes possible. The prediction of gene expression can offer important implications on the genetic architecture of individual functional associated SNPs and further interpretations of the molecular basis underlying human diseases. METHODS: We compared three types of methods for...
