Deskripsi

Association analyses that capture rare and noncoding variants in whole genome sequencing data are limited by factors like statistical power. Here, the authors present KnockoffScreen, a statistical method using the knockoff framework to detect, localise and prioritise rare and common risk variants at genome-wide scale.
