Title:Computational Intelligence Strategies for Genome-Wide Genetic Analysis
Abstract:A central goal of human genetics is the identification of genetic risk factor for common human diseases. Our ability to detect and characterize DNA sequence variations that are predictive of disease susceptibility will depend critically on the complexity of the mapping relationship between genotype and phenotype. Epistasis or gene-gene interaction is expected to play a very important role in the genetic architecture of human disease. Modeling epistasis in genome-wide association (GWAS) studies presents a number of analytical challenges. Several computational intelligence strategies for epistasis analysis in GWAS will be presented and discussed.
