fastGxE is a powerful method for uncovering genotype–environment interactions in biobanks
In brief
fastGxE is a scalable method for analyzing genotype-environment interactions that accelerates genome-wide scans of such interactions in biobank data. Applied to the UK Biobank, it identified previously uncharacterized interaction loci for physical traits and routinely assayed blood biomarkers, revealing context-dependent genetic effects.
Why it matters
fastGxE accelerates genome-wide scans of genotype-environment interactions in biobanks and identifies uncharacterized interaction loci for physical traits and blood biomarkers.
