Following this, I would like to inform you that a new package, MultiABEL, has been committed to R-Forge and successfully built. This is the first (R-only) version, which performs multivariate GWA analysis, i.e. testing a group of (co)related phenotypes against each single variant. There are also a replication analysis module and a simple meta-analysis module included. The GWA module is compatible with both GenABEL (directly typed data) and DatABEL (imputed data) formats of genotypes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would kindly ask whether any of you could do a technical review of this new package, to ensure the coding follows GenABEL standards. You are certainly also welcome to contribute to future development of this package.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks in advance!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Xia</div><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
