    Citation: BMC Genetics 2016 17(Suppl 2):S8
  5. New technologies for acquisition of genomic data, while offering unprecedented opportunities for genetic discovery, also impose severe burdens of interpretation andpenalties for multiple testing.

    Authors: Jack W. Kent Jr
    Citation: BMC Genetics 2016 17(Suppl 2):S5
  6. In the analysis of current genomic data, application of machine learning and data mining techniques has become more attractive given the rising complexity of the projects. As part of the Genetic Analysis Works...
