Spatial rank-based multifactor dimensionality reduction to detect gene–gene interactions for multivariate phenotypes
Abstract Background Identifying interaction effects between genes is one of the main tasks of genome-wide association studies aiming to shed light on the biological mechanisms underlying complex diseases. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is a popular approach for detecting gene–gene intera...
