In this paper we have proposed a model for the distribution of allelic probabilities for generating populations as reliably as possible. Our objective was to develop such a model which would allow simulating allelic probabilities with…
Association testing aims to discover the underlying relationship between genotypes (usually Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, or SNPs) and phenotypes (attributes, or traits). The typically large data sets used in association testing often…
Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) has emerged as an essential tool for genetic and genomic analyses of complex traits, utilizing high-dimensional data derived from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). LDSC computes the…
In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), penalization is an important approach for identifying genetic markers associated with trait while mixed model is successful in accounting for a complicated dependence structure among samples.…
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) are powerful tools for identifying gene-level associations by integrating genome-wide association studies and gene expression data. However, most TWAS methods focus on linear associations…
