Genes Show Limited Value in Predicting Diseases
- bbgm 18y agoI don't understand why they are saying this is the first time someone is saying that genes, and genetic association, are not sufficient. Eric Schadt has published some great work on network analysis and eQTL (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18552845 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18552845).
