Abstract excerpt
Compared with linear mixed model-based genome-wide association (GWA) methods, generalized linear mixed model (GLMM)-based methods have better statistical properties when applied to binary traits but are computationally much slower. In the present study, leveraging efficient sparse matrix-based algorithms, we developed a GLMM-based GWA tool, fastGWA-GLMM, that is severalfold to orders of magnitude faster than the...
