Linkage mapping is one of the most commonly used methods to identify genetic loci that determine a trait. However, the loci identified by linkage mapping may contain hundreds of candidate genes and require a time-consuming and labor-intensive fine ma...
To understand the pathophysiology of complex diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, and autism, deleterious phenotypes are unlikely due to the effects of single genes, but rather, gene-gene interactions (GGIs), which are widely analyzed by multi...
Genomic prediction (GP) aims to construct a statistical model for predicting phenotypes using genome-wide markers and is a promising strategy for accelerating molecular plant breeding. However, current progress of phenotype prediction using genomic d...
Genomic prediction benefits hybrid rice breeding by increasing selection intensity and accelerating breeding cycles. With the rapid advancement of technology, other omic data, such as metabolomic data and transcriptomic data, are readily available fo...

Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis is an emerging method for establishing the impact of genetic variations (such as single nucleotide polymorphisms) on the expression levels of genes. Although different methods for evaluating the impa...
Key challenges for human genetics, precision medicine and evolutionary biology include deciphering the regulatory code of gene expression and understanding the transcriptional effects of genome variation. However, this is extremely difficult because ...
BACKGROUND: Testing predefined gene categories has become a common practice for scientists analyzing high throughput transcriptome data. A systematic way of testing gene categories leads to testing hundreds of null hypotheses that correspond to nodes...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We introduce the R-package GenomicTools to perform, among others, a Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) for the identification of SNP-SNP interactions. The package further provides a new class of tests for an (explor...
The genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) model has proven to be useful for prediction of complex traits as well as estimation of population genetic parameters. Improved inference and prediction accuracy of GBLUP may be achieved by identify...
Traditional evaluation of crop biotic and abiotic stresses are time-consuming and labor-intensive limiting the ability to dissect the genetic basis of quantitative traits. A machine learning (ML)-enabled image-phenotyping pipeline for the genetic stu...
