Whole and targeted sequencing of human genomes is a promising, increasingly feasible tool for discovering genetic contributions to risk of complex diseases. A key step is calling an individual's genotype from the multiple aligned short read…
All possible phenotypes are not equally accessible to evolving populations. In fact, only phenotypes of large size, i.e. those resulting from many different genotypes, are found in populations of sequences, presumably because they are…
We propose a general and formal statistical framework for multiple tests of association between known fixed features of a genome and unknown parameters of the distribution of variable features of this genome in a population of interest. The…
