The triplet code underpins analyses of rare and de novo mutations in exome sequencing data, but analysis of the noncoding genome is much more challenging. A new analytical framework for common, complex diseases highlights the need for very large samples to overcome the unavoidable multiple-testing burden and hence provides preemptive warnings against underpowered studies.
