Popis: Genomic variations among a species consisting of one nucleotide change are known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Often these mutations result in a change in phenotype, but detecting higher order interaction of multiple SNPs remains a challenging problem. Common approaches to find groups of interacting SNPs associated with a phenotypic response, a problem under the umbrella of epistasis, often suffers from a combinatorial explosion and require Bonferroni or similar corrections. In this work, we develop and apply a novel Fourier transformation on the symmetric group to uncover higher order interactions of SNPs associated with a quantitative phenotypic response. We present results for simulated data and then apply our method to previously published data to detect, for the first time using a signal processing approach, new and statistically significant higher order SNP interaction phenotypes related to muscle mice genomic variants.
