Fast and accurate exhaustive higher-order epistasis search with BitEpi

Abstract Complex genetic diseases may be modulated by a large number of epistatic interactions affecting a polygenic phenotype. Identifying these interactions is difficult due to computational complexity, especially in the case of higher-order interactions where more than two genomic variants are in...
