BAM: A Block-Based Bayesian Method for Detecting Genome-Wide Associations with Multiple Diseases

Article proposes a novel Bayesian method, named BAM, for simultaneously partitioning Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) into Linkage Disequilibrium(LD)-blocks and detecting genome-wide multi-locus epistatic interactions that are associated with multiple diseases. Experimental results on the simulated datasets demonstrate that BAM is powerful and efficient.

Mining Potential Effects of HUMIRA in Twitter Posts Through Relational Similarity

Article investigating HUMIRA effects mentioned in Twitter posts using a relational similarity-based method. The authors were able to identify effects previously known as well as potentially unreported, which demonstrates the power of this method and its potential for studying effects of other medications shared by Twitter users.
