Deskripsi

Array-based epigenome-wide association studies only test about 2% of the CpG sites in the genome. Here, the authors describe EWASplus, a supervised machine learning strategy that extends EWAS coverage to the entire genome, and use it to identify novel brain CpGs associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
