We therefore hypothesize that telomere maintenance may trade off against other life history characters. We used natural variation in laboratory populations of Atlantic silv...

OBJECTIVE The existing methods for identifying multiple rare variants underlying complex diseases in family samples are underpowered. Therefore, we aim to develop a new set-based method for an association study of dichotomous traits in family samples. METHODS We introduce a framework for testing the association of genetic variants with diseases in family samples based on a generalized linear ...
