Strategies for Network GWAS Evaluated Using Classroom Crowd Science.

Abstract

Biological networks can substantially boost power to identify disease genes in genome-wide association studies. To explore different network GWAS methods, we challenged students of a UC San Diego graduate level bioinformatics course, Network Biology and Biomedicine, to explore and improve such algorithms during a four-week-long classroom competition. Here, we report the many creative solutions and share our experiences in conducting classroom crowd science as both a research and pedagogical tool.
