[GenABEL-dev] Review needed for MultiABEL

[Xia Shen]

Dear list,

Thanks Lennart for a fairly good introduction of me! 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.

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.

Thanks in advance!

Xia

> Xia has been working on a new package he'd like to include in the
