## Abstract Genomeβwide association (GWA) study is becoming a powerful tool in deciphering genetic basis of complex human diseases/traits. Currently, the univariate analysis is the most commonly used method to identify genes associated with a certain disease/phenotype under study. A major limitatio
The common endpoints for the evaluation of reproductive and developmental toxic effects are the number of dead/resorbed fetuses, the number of malformed fetuses, and the number of normal fetuses for each litter. The joint distribution of the three endpoints could be modelled by a Dirichlettrinomial
Model-free linkage analysis methods, based on identity-by-descent allele sharing, are commonly used for complex trait analysis. The Maximum-Likelihood-Binomial (MLB) approach, which is based on the hypothesis that parental alleles are binomially distributed among affected sibs, is particularly popul
