PyToxo
PyToxo generates penetrance tables from any-order epistasis models to support analysis of high-order genetic interactions influencing complex phenotypes.
Key Features:
- High-Order Epistasis Modeling: Generates penetrance tables for complex interactions involving multiple genetic loci from any-order epistasis models.
- Precision and Efficiency: Produces high-precision numerical outputs suitable for computational evaluation of epistatic models.
- Realistic Parameter Handling: Supports specification of realistic penetrance and heritability values for epistasis studies.
Scientific Applications:
- Algorithm Evaluation: Provides penetrance tables for benchmarking and evaluating methods that detect high-order epistatic interactions.
- Complex Disease Genetics: Enables investigation of genetic architectures underlying multifactorial traits and disorders by specifying interaction models and penetrance patterns.
Methodology:
Generates penetrance tables from any-order epistasis models while supporting realistic penetrance and heritability parameters and producing high-precision results.
