  <dc:title>Two-Phase Genetic Association Study Design and Analysis with
Missing Covariates by Design</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package twoPhaseGAS version 1.2.5</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides functionality for designing and analysing two-phase 
    genetic association studies. Phase 1 data usually come from
    genome-wide association study (GWAS) results and we assume phase 2  data 
    will be part of a targeted genome sequencing or fine-mapping study. 
    At design stage, the package assists in selecting a subset of individuals 
    that will be sequenced for phase 2 via alternative approaches, including a 
    flexible genetic algorithm (GA) for near-optimal designs. Once phase 2 data 
    have been collected, the package implements methods to analyse phase 1 and 
    phase 2 data together using semi-parametric regression models via the 
    expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. For more details see
