Noise-augmented directional clustering of genetic association data identifies distinct mechanisms underlying obesity

2021-04-09

Abstract excerpt

Clustering genetic variants based on their associations with different traits can provide insight into their underlying biological mechanisms. Existing clustering approaches typically group variants based on the similarity of their association estimates for various traits. We present a new procedure for clustering variants based on their proportional associations with different traits, which is more reflective of...
