Abstract Summary
fastMETA is a new open-source tool that accelerates multivariate meta-analysis of genetic studies by 15-20×, enabling researchers to efficiently detect genes affecting multiple traits simultaneously. Unlike traditional methods analyzing one trait at a time, it captures complex relationships between diseases and traits while maintaining accuracy—validated across pediatric, inflammatory bowel disease, and large-scale genetic datasets.
Why Brain? 🧠
fastMETA enables 15-20× faster analysis of multiple genetic traits simultaneously, revealing shared genetic factors across diseases that traditional single-trait methods miss, advancing precision medicine.
