Abstract excerpt
Quantitative-trait association studies have been widely used in search for genetic loci for complex traits in recent years. Yet, fiscal constraints still prohibit many on-going research projects from recruiting a large number of individuals for genotyping to reach a desired level of statistical power. Accordingly, in this article, we describe a novel sib pair sampling strategy for genotyping in QTL association...
