PETScan: Score-Based Genome-Wide Association Analysis of RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq Data

Yajing B. Hao, Tal Kafri, Fei Zou

PETScan performs genome-wide association analysis of RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq data using negative binomial models and score tests, achieving faster computation than Wald tests while identifying similar significant gene-peak pairs.
