It appears at the time of this news release that KSL and KUTV
had both covered the story.
This says it was published in the Medical Journal of Bioinformatics, but
there isn't a link in this article. It appears they are referring to an article
published in 2010. I can't find the article whatever year it was published.
The lead author is Paul Bodily, a BYU Phd student, and
he developed an algorithm.
The research, published in
medical journal Bioinformatics,
details how the new algorithm outperforms other methods and the unintended
discovery of the algorithm’s ability to detect inversions.
Previously, inversions have
been very difficult to detect, but the researchers believe their method can
significantly enhance the process.
“There are diseases, like
autism, that we’re really uncertain as to what causes them,” said senior author
Mark Clement, professor in computer science. “To at least have improved tools
for detecting a possible cause is important.”
If Adam is able to figure out his GWAS that will be another
Bioinformatics publication for BYU. I am guessing
this one was published in 2015.
Adam is working with Mark Clement, the professor mentioned above
and the Phd student that taught the Bioinformatics class Adam took.
