Identification of putative causal loci in whole-genome sequencing data via knockoff statistics

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...
