• Evaluation and integration of 49 genome-wide experiments and the prediction of previously unknown obesity-related genes.

  English SB, Butte AJ. Bioinformatics. 2007; 23 (21): 2910-7

  Genome-wide experiments only rarely show resounding success in yielding genes associated with complex polygenic disorders. We evaluate 49 obesity-related genome-wide experiments with publicly available findings including microarray, genetics, proteomics and gene knock-down from human, mouse, rat and worm, in terms of their ability to rediscover a comprehensive set of genes previously found to be causally associated or having variants associated with obesity.
