FINEMAP: efficient variable selection using summary data from genome-wide association studies
Christian Benner,Chris C. A. Spencer,Aki S. Havulinna,Veikko Salomaa,Samuli Ripatti,Matti Pirinen +5 more
TL;DR: FINEMAP is introduced, a software package to efficiently explore a set of the most important causal configurations of the region via a shotgun stochastic search algorithm, and is therefore a promising tool for analyzing growing amounts of data produced in genome-wide association studies and emerging sequencing projects.
