A computational approach for identification of core modules from a co-expression network and GWAS data

Summary: This protocol describes the application of the “omnigenic” model of the genetic architecture of complex traits to identify novel “core” genes influencing a disease-associated phenotype. Core genes are hypothesized to directly regulate disease and may serve as therapeutic targets. This proto...
