Abstract excerpt
Root causal genes correspond to the first gene expression levels perturbed during pathogenesis by genetic or non-genetic factors. Targeting root causal genes has the potential to alleviate disease entirely by eliminating pathology near its onset. No existing algorithm has been designed to discover root causal genes from observational data alone. We therefore propose the Transcriptome-Wide Root Causal Inference...
