Answer 1

The correct answer is: Genome-wide association studies.

Genome-wide association study is a study of genome-wide set of genetic variants. It is performed in different individuals in order to see if any variant is associated with a trait. Most commonly observed variants are single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their association with traits like major human diseases.
