Why it matters in GWAS

Structural and long-range genomic events can influence trait-associated loci, and BEDPE provides a practical way to exchange paired coordinates for downstream annotation and visualization.

Example usage

"Putative translocation breakpoints were exported as BEDPE and intersected with trait-associated regions."

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
