Abstract:Background
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are based on the observation of genome-wide sets of genetic variants – typically single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) – in different individuals that are associated with phenotypic traits. Research efforts have so far been directed to improving GWAS techniques rather than on making the results of GWAS interoperable with other genomic signals; this is currently hindered by the use of heterogeneous formats and uncoordinated experiment descriptio… Show more
