Leveraging gene co-expression patterns to infer trait-relevant tissues in genome-wide association studies.
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many SNPs associated with various common diseases. Understanding the biological functions of these identified SNP associations requires identifying disease/trait relevant tissues or cell types. Here, we develop a network method, CoCoNet, to fac...
