Estimating the growth rates of primary lung tumours from samples with missing measurementsOlga Gorlova
Department of Epidemiology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Stat Med 24:1117-34. 2005..The relative error of the best estimates, as assessed by simulation, rarely exceeds 20 per cent. We found that the results of application of our estimation procedures to chest X-ray screening data agree well with the expectations...
simuPOP: a forward-time population genetics simulation environmentBo Peng
Department of Statistics, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, USA
Bioinformatics 21:3686-7. 2005..AVAILABILITY: simuPOP is freely available at http://simupop.sourceforge.net, distributed under GPL license...
Genome-wide algorithm for detecting CNV associations with diseasesYaji Xu
Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1155 Pressler St, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
BMC Bioinformatics 12:331. 2011..An alternative procedure called PennCNV uses information from both the marker intensities as well as the genotypes and therefore has increased sensitivity...
Forward-time simulation of realistic samples for genome-wide association studiesBo Peng
Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
BMC Bioinformatics 11:442. 2010..However, a number of methodological and computational constraints have prevented the power of this simulation method from being fully explored in existing forward-time simulation methods...
Derived SNP alleles are used more frequently than ancestral alleles as risk-associated variants in common human diseasesOlga Y Gorlova
Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 3721, USA
J Bioinform Comput Biol 10:1241008. 2012..Alleles existing longer tend to show weaker linkage disequilibrium with neighboring alleles, including the causal alleles, and are less likely to tag a SNP-disease association...
Power analysis for case-control association studies of samples with known family historiesBo Peng
Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, 1155 Pressler St Unit 1340, Houston, TX 77030, USA

Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Genet Epidemiol 33:518-25. 2009....
Simulations provide support for the common disease-common variant hypothesisBo Peng

Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas, M D Anderson Cancer Center, 1155 Pressler Blvd, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Bioinformatics 24:1408-9. 2008..AVAILABILITY: simuPOP is freely available at http://simupop.sourceforge.net, distributed under a GPL license. Cited examples are in the doc/cookbook directory of a simuPOP distribution...
Integrated annotation and analysis of genetic variants from next-generation sequencing studies with variant toolsF Anthony San Lucas
Department of Epidemiology, University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA
Bioinformatics 28:421-2. 2012..However, building flexible pipelines that support the tracking of variants alongside their samples, while enabling updated annotation and reanalyses, is not a simple task...
Normalizing a large number of quantitative traits using empirical normal quantile transformationBo Peng
Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas, Anderson Cancer Center, 1155 Pressler Boulevard, Unit 1340, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
BMC Proc 1:S156. 2007..To investigate the impact of such a transformation on real data sets, we apply variance-components and variance-regression methods to the expression data of GAW15 and compare the results before and after transformation...
Forward-time simulations of human populations with complex diseasesBo Peng
Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States of America
PLoS Genet 3:e47. 2007..Nonadditive fitness models, population structure, and gene-gene interactions are simulated. Case-control, sibpair, and large pedigree samples are drawn from the simulated populations and are examined by a variety of gene-mapping methods...
