ADELLE is a statistical method for trans-eQTL mapping that outperforms existing approaches in detecting SNPs associated with multiple gene expression levels.

The paper identifies diet-responsive eQTLs in baboons exposed to high cholesterol and fat diets, showing their relevance to human metabolic GWAS genes.

BRASS is a permutation method for binary trait association mapping in structured samples, showing better type 1 error control than existing methods in simulations and applications to dog genome-wide association studies.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with muscle mass in humans and mice, finds shared genetic mechanisms, and identifies CPNE1 and STC2 as modifiers of myogenesis.

Kinpute improves genotype imputation by integrating identity by descent information with LD-based imputation, enhancing accuracy in underrepresented populations.

The paper uses a mouse advanced intercross line to identify genetic associations and eQTLs for traits related to human health and disease.
