Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are an integral tool for studying the architecture of complex genotype and phenotype relationships. Linear mixed models (LMMs) are commonly used to detect associations between genetic markers and a trait of interest, while at the same time allowing to account for population structure and cryptic relatedness. Assumptions of LMMs include a normal distribution of...
