Power of non-parametric linkage analysis in mapping genes contributing to human longevity in long-lived sib-pairs.

abstract：:High-throughput sequencing data can be used to predict phenotypes from genotypes, and this corresponds to establishing a prognostic model. In extended pedigrees the relatedness of subjects provides additional information so that genetic values, fixed or random genetic components, and heritability can be estimated. At ...
