SUMMARY:amsim: Simulations of assortative mating and selection bias in gene
 tic studies of complex disease
DESCRIPTION:Assortative mating and selection bias are two challenging confo
 unders in genetic studies of complex disease. The former is reflected in s
 pousal correlation at the phenotype level\, whereas the latter is due to d
 ifferential ascertainment or participation based on proband factors. To an
 alyse the downstream effects of these phenomena\, we have developed the am
 sim simulation framework for efficient simulations incorporating both thes
 e confounders into highly configurable phenogenetic scenarios. amsim is wr
 itten in C++ while exposing user-friendly bindings to the R and Python lan
 guages through the amsimr and amsimpy packages\, respectively. During the 
 course of the presentation\, we will consider the effects that assortment 
 and selection have on the working tools of the statistical geneticist.\n\n
