Multi-Locus Mapping of Genetic Heterogeneity (FAIS)
Summary
We present an algorithm for discovering contiguous sets of SNPs in a genome that are associated to a phenotype of interest under a model of genetic heterogeneity. The algorithm can search any contiguous set of SNPs in the genome and still properly correct for mutiple testing, while retaining statistical power.
Code
The code is available in our GitHub repository external pagehere.
