Abstract:
In many cases, Bayesian methods can solve problems of interest more directly than a classical approach. Its utility lies on the incorporation of prior information. In recent years, with the development of high-speed computer and advances of MCMC algorithm, Bayesian methods have been employed in many genetic areas, such as population genetics, molecular evolution, linkage mapping, and quantitative genetics and so on. In this review, we reviewed the development of Bayesian approaches for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in quantitative genetics.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...
