I think its a great idea, let me know if I can help in any way, I have some experience in GWAS and metanalisys and a bit on Case Control studies, although I don't think I could write a paper by myself.<br><br>Nicola<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
I would like to bring up a very interesting (this is how it appears to<br>
me) issue initiated by MarcinK in a private talk.<br>
<br>
We did quite some methodology work on documentation, tutorials, forum,<br>
and this list. I presume we all agree that it would be great to get<br>
some more credit for that. So why not transforming out efforts into<br>
publications? The idea is that using GenABEL tutorials as the base we<br>
can write a series of "review tutorials" (say, the tutorial part based<br>
on the "GenABEL tutorial", and the review part based on<br>
forum/JournalClub/individualExperience). For example, Marcin is<br>
willing and ready to come up with a "review tutorial" on GWA analysis<br>
in highly stratified populations; Maria is deep into the topic of GWA<br>
data Quality Control [Maria, would you be willing to work on such<br>
manuscript?]; also meta-analysis of GWA studies seems well-covered in<br>
the "GenABEL tutorial" [would one volunteer to write this?]; not to<br>
mention mixed models which are among my favorites. Any other topics<br>
are more than welcome.<br>
<br>
Would you approve this idea? -- in which case I will approach some<br>
journals with pre-submission inquiry (draft attached after the<br>
signature).<br>
<br>
Please do comment on this idea.<br>
<br>
best wishes,<br>

Dear Sir or Madam,<br>
<br>
We would like to make a preliminary request on the possibility to<br>
publish a series of publications on genome-wide association (GWA)<br>
studies in the format of "review tutorials" in *theJournalToAsk*. This<br>
is somewhat new format, in which we aim to both providing theoretical<br>
review of the subject and hands-on tutorial allowing technical<br>
implementation. Our feeling is that this type of publications can be<br>
very beneficial to the scientific community -- not only the general<br>
insight and guidelines will be provided, but also technical details of<br>
possible implementation will be given.<br>
<br>
The topics we have in mind include<br>
<br>
* Quality control for GWA studies<br>
* GWA analysis of stratified population and dealing with population<br>
stratification<br>
* Meta-analysis of GWA studies<br>
* Use of variance components models in GWA studies<br>
<br>
Would *theJournalToAsk* be interested in publishing a series of such<br>
"review tutorials"?<br>
<br>
with best wishes,<br>
on behalf of the GenABEL project,<br>
Yurii Auchenko<br>
