MTG2

MTG2 is a software tool that uses a linear mixed model framework for genetic analysis of complex traits using genome-wide SNPs. It is faster than current standard REML software and is particularly useful for multivariate analysis, including multi-trait models and random regression models for studying reaction norms.
