| Abstract | This project will develop new statistical tools to enhance the power and precision of discovering disease-associated genes. By integrating diverse sources of genomic information and improving how prior knowledge and statistical evidence are combined, the project aims to uncover subtle genetic signals that might otherwise be missed. These innovations have the potential to transform the understanding and treatment of complex diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders. The project supports natio |
