Joint analysis of expression levels and histological images identifies genes associated with tissue morphology
Image features from histological slides can be used as informative endophenotypes in association studies for tissue-localized pathologies. Here, the authors develop ImageCCA, a framework for joint analysis of paired gene expression and histology data derived from automatically extracted image featur...
