Simulating autosomal genotypes with realistic linkage disequilibrium and a spiked-in genetic effect.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Detection of periodically expressed genes from microarray data without use of known periodic and non-periodic training examples is an important problem, e.g. for identifying genes regulated by the cell-cycle in poorly characterised organisms. Commonly the investigator is only interested in genes expressed at...
