Abstract excerpt
Unraveling the causal variants from genome wide association studies (GWASs) is pivotal for understanding genetic underpinnings of complex traits and diseases. Despite continuous efforts, tools to refine and prioritize GWAS signals need enhancement to address the direct causal implications of genetic variations. To overcome challenges related to statistical fine-mapping in identifying causal variants, CAUSALdb has...
