Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Epistasis may play an etiologic role in complex diseases, but research has been hindered because identification of interactions among sets of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) requires exploration of immense search spaces. Current approaches using nuclear families accommodate at most several hundred candidate SNPs. RESULTS: GADGETS detects epistatic SNP-sets by applying a genetic algorithm to...
