Abstract
Association tests performed with the Likelihood-Ratio Test (LR Test) can be an alternative to [Formula: see text], which is often used in population genetics to find variants of interest. Because the LR Test has several properties that could make it preferable to [Formula: see text], we propose a novel approach for modeling unknown genotypes in highly-similar species. To show the effectiveness of this LR Test approach, we apply it to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the recent speciation of the malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii and compare to [Formula: see text].
