BICEP: Bayesian inference for rare genomic variant causality evaluation in pedigrees.

Abstract excerpt

Next-generation sequencing is widely applied to the investigation of pedigree data for gene discovery. However, identifying plausible disease-causing variants within a robust statistical framework is challenging. Here, we introduce BICEP: a Bayesian inference tool for rare variant causality evaluation in pedigree-based cohorts. BICEP calculates the posterior odds that a genomic variant is causal for a phenotype...
