[GenABEL-dev] Introducing OmicABELnoMM

[L.C. Karssen]

Dear list,

As you may have noticed, I have committed a first version of
OmicABELnoMM to SVN on R-forge this morning.
OmicABELnoMM is the no-mixed-models version of OmicABEL, allowing rapid
genome-wide association analysis (linear regression), especially for
multiple traits ("omics" data).
OmicABELnoMM was written from scratch by Alvaro Jesus Frank so that the
algorithm is well tailored to the different mathematics. Alvaro works in
the same team at RWTH Aachen as Diego Fabregat Traver of OmicABEL fame,
under the supervision of Paolo Bientinesi, Yurii Aulchenko and,
recently, myself.

Please note that OmicABELnoMM is still under development (thanks Yakov
and Sodbo for your contributions!). Most notably, work is still being
done on the exact output file format. At present the output is stored in
a filevector-format file. This will probably remain the same, but the
order in which the information (betas, standard errors) is stored may
change.

These are the development plans we have for OmicABELnoMM in the near future:
- Implement autotools configuration
- Improve the output file format
- Add documentation


Best regards,

Lennart.
