#21 Linear mixed models, GWAS, and lme4qtl with Andrey Ziyatdinov

Listen Later

Linear mixed models are used to analyze GWAS data and detect QTLs.

Andrey Ziyatdinov recently released an R package, lme4qtl, that can be used to
formulate and fit these models.
In this episode, Andrey and I discuss linear mixed models, genome-wide association studies, and strengths and weaknesses of lme4qtl.
