EDGE 2018
Epistasis Discovery in Genetics and Epidemiology
The Epistasis Discovery in Genetics and Epidemiology (EDGE) conference focuses on the discussion and exploration of the impact of genetic interactions on complex traits and outcomes. The EDGE meeting yearly invites a varying group of experts in epistasis across multiple disciplines from animal models to biostatistics, providing a unique and synergistic environment for sharing ideas, identifying new topics of research, as well as the development of novel methodologies for understanding the impact of genetic interactions on complex traits and outcomes. As a result of EDGE, new manuscripts and algorithms have been developed and shared with the scientific community.
