Cell Research: SHEsisEpi, a GPU-enhanced genome-wide SNP-SNP interaction scanning algorithm and epistasis in bipolar disorder

Hu et al.

SHEsisEpi, a GPU-enhanced genome-wide SNP-SNP interaction scanning algorithm, efficiently reveals the risk of genetic epistasis in bipolar disorder.

Hu and colleagues developed a method for analyzing epistasis in a GWAS of complex traits, and exclude the contamination of marginal effects caused by single-locus association. They analyzed the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium's (WTCCC) bipolar disorder GWAS data.
