geneSLOPE (Q5983050)

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) performed with SLOPE, short for Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation, a method for estimating the vector of coefficients in a linear model. In the first step of GWAS, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are clumped according to their correlations and distances. Then, SLOPE is performed on the data where each clump has one representative.
