GenABEL

GenABEL performs genome-wide association analyses between quantitative or binary traits and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).


Key Features:

  • Association testing: Performs genome-wide association analysis between quantitative or binary traits and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
  • GWAS support: Supports various aspects of genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
  • Toolset composition: Comprises eleven tools that collectively address different analytical needs in GWAS.
  • Statistical genomics: Implements statistical genomics methodologies relevant to association analysis.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS): Analysis of associations between SNPs and quantitative or binary phenotypes.
  • Statistical genomics research: Implementation and application of statistical genomics methods within omics research contexts.

Methodology:

Development and maintenance practices explicitly include public version control, code review, and continuous integration.
