Abstract

As several rare genomic variants have been shown to affect common phenotypes, rare variants association analysis has received considerable attention. Several efficient association tests using genotype and phenotype similarity measures have been proposed in the literature. The major advantages of similarity-based tests are their ability to accommodate multiple types of DNA variations within one association test, and to account for the possible interaction within a region. However, not much work has been done to compare the performance of similarity-based tests on rare variants association scenarios, especially when applied with different rare variants pooling strategies.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 January 2013.
All research outputs
#20,653,708
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#8,709
of 11,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#227,226
of 288,058 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#134
of 188 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,244 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 288,058 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 188 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
