Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

Xiaofeng Zhu, professor in the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences at the School of Medicine, has led research to screen for interactions across the genome. The team has ...

Traits influenced by a smaller number of significant genetic loci are more effectively predicted, while highly complex traits remain more challenging. In addition, the researchers show that feature ...
