Massively Parallel Pipeline to Clone DNA Variants & Examine…Disease
Mutations http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004819 CloneSeq leverages NextGen sequencing

With the advance of sequencing technologies, tens of millions of genomic variants have been discovered in the human population. However, there is no available method to date that is capable of determining the functional impact of these variants on a large scale, which has increasingly become a huge bottleneck for the development of population genetics and personal genomics. Clone-seq and comparative interactome-profiling pipeline is a first to address this issue.

Can be coupled to many readouts.

Pooled association tests for rare variants in exon-resequencing http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3032073 Simulation shows advantage of mult. rarity thresholds

SUMMARY

Multiple studies indicate strong association between rare variants and
resulting phenotype. This paper describes a population-genetics
simulation framework to study the influence of variant allele
frequency on the corresponding phenotype. In a prior study, causal
relationship between variants and phenotype was resolved by performing
association test on set of variants having allele frequency below a
fixed threshold. However, here it is observed that simulation
frameworks based on a variable allele frequency threshold provide
higher accuracy in association test compared to the fixed allele
frequency model. In addition, inclusion of predicted functional
effects of variants (Polyphen-2 scores) increases the accuracy of the
variable frequency threshold model. Overall, this paper describes a novel methodology, which can be
used to explore the association between rare variants and various
diseases.
