PLINK
PLINK is a popular and well-documented tool for the association and population-based linkage analyses for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The PLINK package contains functions for data management, summary statistics for quality control, population stratification detection, association analysis, identity-by-descent estimation, and more. See also gPLINK, a GUI tool written in Java for PLINK.
