What can I use OpenMX/R for?

I've always known that OpenMX is the go-to tool for behavioral genetic analysis. What I didn't realize until ITW 2014 is that it's an extremely versatile tool that can be used for all sorts of analytical tasks! Here are a few examples:

1. Structural Equation Modeling
2. Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS)

R can be used for:
Mendelian Randomization (which requires just one line of R code! using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) library, and instrumental variables analysis)

What other problems have you used OpenMx to solve?
