Genomics Research Incubator expands assay and training options for scientists

A new statistical method called CLIMB provides a more efficient way to uncover biologically meaningful changes in genomic data that span multiple conditions—such as gene regulation across tissue types. CLIMB first conducts a series of pairwise analyses. Then, it starts to construct “association vectors” that include all possible combinations of a subject’s status across each condition. Then, CLIMB eliminates any combination from the association vector that the pairwise analyses in Step 1 do not support. Finally, CLIMB performs a joint analysis, clustering together subjects that follow the same pattern across conditions. Credit: Qunhua Li research group / Penn State. All Rights Reserved.
