Alvin J. Zhang, John D. Storey
The paper introduces a hypothesis test to detect linkage disequilibrium adjusted for population structure in human datasets.
This paper extends the Transmission Mean Test (TMT) to nuclear families with multiple offspring, enabling detection of genetic loci with causal effects on child phenotypes while accounting for family-specific effects.

This paper introduces a new causal inference method, the transmission mean test (TMT), for identifying genetic loci associated with child phenotypes using parent-child trio data.
The paper introduces a generalized admixture model that accounts for relatedness among admixed populations and shows it can estimate individual-level relatedness.

This paper improves estimation of FST and kinship under complex population structures by introducing a new framework that addresses biases in existing method-of-moments estimators.

The paper extends the optimal discovery procedure (ODP) to handle complex study designs and RNA sequencing, showing improved performance in detecting differentially expressed genes.
This paper extends Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium tests to account for population structure, introducing a new test called structural HWE (sHWE) that automatically selects tuning parameters and identifies structural models.
Alejandro Ochoa, John D. Storey
This paper introduces a generalized FST definition for arbitrary population structures, extending it to account for arbitrary probabilistic dependence among individuals.
