\item Sequencing has potential to explain missing heritability through identification of trait associated rare variants. \cite{Eichler_2010}.  \item Rare genetic variants can play major roles in influencing complex diseases. \cite{Pritchard_2001} \cite{Schork_2009}  \item Standard methods to test for association with single genetic variants are underpowered for rare variants unless sample sizes are very large. \cite{Li_2008}  \item Overview of 3 types of analysis methods (Besides single SNV analysis) single-variant approach)  \begin{itemize}  \item Pooled-variant method combines the information across multiple variants sites within a gene. (can enrich the association signal).  \item Joint-modeling method identifies the joint effect of multiple genetic variants. This may be powerful since it uses combined information across variants. 

\item Summary paragraph giving an overview of the different types of methods and the ideas motivating them.    \begin{enumerate}  \item Single-variant statistics approach  \begin{itemize}  \item Fisher's exact test  \begin{itemize}
