Abstract excerpt
The central questions asked in whole-genome association studies are how to locate associated regions in the genome and how to estimate the significance of these findings. Researchers usually do this by testing each SNP separately for association and then applying a suitable correction for multiple-hypothesis testing. However, SNPs are correlated by the unobserved genealogy of the population, and a more powerful...
