VBASS enables integration of single cell gene expression data in Bayesian association analysis of rare variants

Abstract Rare or de novo variants have substantial contribution to human diseases, but the statistical power to identify risk genes by rare variants is generally low due to rarity of genotype data. Previous studies have shown that risk genes usually have high expression in relevant cell types, altho...
