| Abstract | Common heritable diseases ("complex traits") are assumed to be due to multiple underlying susceptibility genes. While genetic mapping methods for mendelian disorders have been very successful, the search for genes underlying complex traits has been difficult and often disappointing. One of the reasons may be that most current gene mapping approaches are still based on conventional methodology of testing one or a few SNPs at a time. Here we demonstrate a simple strategy that allows for the joint analysis of multiple disease-associated SNPs in different genomic regions. Our set-association method combines information over SNPs by forming sums of relevant single-marker statistics. This approach successfully addresses the "curse of dimensionality" problem - too many variables should be estimated with a comparatively small number of observations. We also extend our method to microarray expression data, where expression levels for large numbers of genes should be compared between two tissue types. In applications to experimental expression data our approach turned out to be highly efficient. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
