PrediXcan is a gene-based association test that prioritizes genes that are likely to be causal for the phenotype.
PredictDB hosts genetic prediction models of transcriptome levels to be used with PrediXcan.
The following models are available for download.
- DGN Whole Blood Elastic Net SQTLite db link (A ~28MB file will be downloaded)
- DGN Whole Blood Elastic Net text link (A ~18MB file will be downloaded)
- DGN Whole Blood LASSO SQTLite db link (A ~18MB file will be downloaded)
G2Pdb, Gene to Phenotype database, hosts the results of PrediXcan applied to a variety of phenotypes. Link to prototype. Currently, the prototype hosts the results of PrediXcan applied to WTCCC (Wellcome Trust Case Control Consoritium) diseases using DGN whole blood prediction models.
