On Wellcome Trust data for 15,000 individuals, FaST-LMM ran an order of magnitude faster than current efficient algorithms. Our algorithm can analyze data for 120,000 individuals in just a few hours, whereas current algorithms fail on data for even 20,000 individuals (http://mscompbio.codeplex.com/).}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/fast-linear-mixed-models-for-genome-wide-association-studies/}, pages = {833-835}, journal = {Nature Methods}, volume = {8}, edition = {Nature Methods}, }
