    Rapid detection of identity-by-descent tracts for mega-scale datasets

    The ability to identify segments of genomes identical-by-descent (IBD) is a part of standard workflows in both statistical and population genetics. However, traditional methods for finding local IBD across all...

    No evidence of interaction between known lipid-associated genetic variants and smoking in the multi-ethnic PAGE population

    Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many variants that influence high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and/or triglycerides. However, environmental modif...
