Polyunphased: an extension to polytomous outcomes of the Unphased package for family-based genetic association analysis.

abstract：:We present a Bayesian hierarchical model for detecting differentially expressed genes using a mixture prior on the parameters representing differential effects. We formulate an easily interpretable 3-component mixture to classify genes as over-expressed, under-expressed and non-differentially expressed, and model gene...
