Environmental correlation analysis for genes associated with protection against malaria
Genome-wide searches for loci involved in human resistance to malaria are currently being conducted on a large scale in Africa using case-control studies. Here, we explore the utility of an alternative approach - "environmental correlation analysis, ECA", which tests for clines in allele f...
