FlexLMM: a nextflow linear mixed model framework for GWAS.

However, naive permutations of the phenotype to empirically estimate the null distribution of a statistic of interest are not appropriate in the presence of population structure or covariates. This is because the samples are not exchangeable with each other under the null hypothesis, and because permuting the phenotypes breaks the relationship among those and eventual covariates.
