Some people in our group work on genome wide association studies (GWAS).
Contents |
Introductory reading
For an introduction to GWAS, with an emphasis on human studies, you could start with a nice tutorial article [1], and a review of more recent issues [2]. There is also a nice review about approaches for rodent studies [3].
Statistical Methodology
An important and widely used approach to dealing with cryptic population structure [4], and key references on genotype imputation [5][6].
Software
Many statistical methods are implemented in PLINK.
More sophisticated model based genotype imputation and association testing can be performed using IMPUTE and SNPTEST, or MACH and ProbABEL, or BimBam.
Our own software for association testing using uncertain genotypes is QUICKTEST.
