STAARpipeline: an all-in-one rare-variant tool for biobank-scale whole-genome sequencing data

Detecting rare-variant associations in the noncoding genome is challenging. We present a scalable, flexible and streamlined rare-variant association analysis framework for biobank-scale whole-genome sequencing data, including gene-centric and non-gene-centric analyses by incorporating multiple variant functional annotations using various coding and noncoding units, conditional analysis, result summary and visualization.
