The traditional candidate gene approach faces limitations due to prior knowledge requirements. A new digital candidate gene approach (DigiCGA) offers a promising solution for identifying genes linked to complex traits.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • The traditional candidate gene approach relies heavily on prior knowledge of gene functions.
  • This reliance creates an information bottleneck, hindering the identification of genes for complex traits.
  • Limitations of the traditional approach necessitate the development of novel strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the progress and applications of the digital candidate gene approach (DigiCGA).
  • To highlight the advantages of DigiCGA over traditional methods in gene identification.
  • To discuss the available software, online tools, and challenges associated with DigiCGA.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent advancements in candidate gene identification strategies.
Keywords:
