Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Network-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify functional modules from biological networks that are enriched by top GWAS findings. Although gene functions are relevant to tissue context, most existing methods analyze tissue-free networks without reflecting phenotypic specificity. RESULTS: We propose a novel module identification framework for imaging genetic studies using the...
