TY - JOUR T1 - GenRank: an R/Bioconductor package for prioritization of candidate genes JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/048264 SP - 048264 AU - Chakravarthi Kanduri AU - Irma Järvelä Y1 - 2016/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/04/12/048264.abstract N2 - Summary: Modern high-throughput studies often yield long lists of genes, of which a fraction are of high relevance to the phenotype of interest. To prioritize the candidate genes of complex genetic traits, our R/Bioconductor package GenRank provides methods that are based on convergent evidence obtained from multiple independent evidence layers. The package facilitates an extensible framework that allows a further addition of novel methods for candidate gene prioritization.Availability and Implementation: The methods are implemented in R and available as a package in Bioconductor repository (http://bioconductor.org/packages/GenRank/).Contact: chakra.kanduri{at}gmail.com ER -
