Detecting Associations Between Genetic Variants and Output Traits Using Prior Biological Knowledge

In this talk, Dr. Seunghak Lee presented a novel method that uses prior biological knowledge to boost the statistical power of detecting genetic variants associated with traits. This work reminds me the research in courseagent, in which we are planning to use the prior knowledge on the course histories of past students' and output the courses that might be interesting to the current students with same path.
