BLUPmrMLM: A Fast mrMLM Algorithm in Genome-wide Association Studies.

ABSTRACT: Multilocus genome-wide association study has become the state-of-the-art tool for dissecting the genetic architecture of complex and multiomic traits. However, most existing multilocus methods require relatively long computational time when analyzing large datasets. To address this issue, in this study, we proposed a fast mrMLM method, namely, best linear unbiased prediction multilocus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (BLUPmrMLM). First, genome-wide single-marker scanning in mrMLM was replaced by vectorized Wald tests based on the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values of marker effects and their variances in BLUPmrMLM. Then, adaptive best subset selection (ABESS) was used to identify potentially associated markers on each chromosome to reduce computational time when estimating
