Performance Gains in Genome-Wide Association Studies for Longitudinal Traits via Modeling Time-varied effects

Abstract Complex traits with multiple phenotypic values changing over time are called longitudinal traits. In traditional genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for longitudinal traits, a combined/averaged estimated breeding value (EBV) or deregressed proof (DRP) instead of multiple phenotypic measu...
