SummarySequential conditional analysis is an important tool for identifying the unique signals in single-variant association analysis between genomic variants and various phenotypic outcomes. With large datasets, it is tedious and time-consuming to manually run the sequential steps which require the association analysis, computation of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the variants, generation of a visualization graphic, and identification of the "top hit" to be inserted as an additional covariate for the next iteration. The Conditional Analysis Cakewalk automates this process, making it easy and fast, while only requiring user input in the initial configuration steps. Availability and ImplementationThe Conditional Analysis Cakewalk is implemented as a Linux shell script utilizing MMAP or PLINK and LocusZoom. Source code and documentation are available at https://github.com/jennetics/Cakewalk.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
