Overview of the methodology. This analysis scheme is based on mutual information as a measure of the relative closeness between the personal genome and diseases. (A) Calculating mutual information between the personal genome and diseases. The closeness between the personal genome and diseases was measured by considering both damaging missense mutations and knowledge of disease-gene associations. (B) Discovering association patterns based on mutual information as a measure of the relative closeness between the personal genome and diseases. The yellow-bars plot indicates VSiftVar and the green-bars plot indicates VDisGene.
