Abstract: We developed a model-based clustering algorithm to classify expressed genes according to their association with the phenotype of a quantitative trait. Parameters of the model are estimated using the maximum likelihood method implemented via the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The method was tested using both simulated data and real data
