Variant Set Enrichment: An R package to Identify Dis-ease-Associated Functional Genomic Regions

2016-09-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Genetic predispositions to diseases populate the noncoding regions of the human genome. Delineating their functional basis can inform on the mechanisms contributing to disease development. However, this remains a challenge due to the poor characterization of the noncoding genome. Variant Set Enrichment (VSE) is a fast method to calculate the enrichment of a set of disease-associated variants acro...
