Standard genome-wide association studies (GWAS) scan for relationships between each of
p molecular markers and a continuously distributed target trait. Typically, a marker-based …

A typical plant genome-wide association study (GWAS) uses a mixed linear model (MLM)
that includes a trait as the response variable, a marker as an explanatory variable, and fixed …

Naturally and artificially selected populations usually exhibit some degree of stratification. In
Genome-Wide Association Studies and in Whole-Genome Regressions (WGR) analyses …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revolutionized the investigation of complex
traits over the past decade and have unveiled numerous useful genotype–phenotype …

Genotyping technology now allows the rapid and affordable generation of million-SNP
profiles for humans, leading to considerable activity in association mapping. Similar activity …

Key message Models based on additive marker effects and on epistatic interactions can be
translated into genomic relationship models. This equivalence allows to perform predictions …

Key message We present new association mapping methods which address the unique
challenges of analyzing genome-wide data from multi-environment plant studies. Abstract …

Association studies of polygenic traits are notoriously difficult when those studies are
conducted at large geographic scales. The difficulty arises as genotype frequencies often …

Complex trait dissection through association mapping provides a powerful complement to
traditional linkage analysis. The genetic structure of an association mapping panel can be …
