Description: whole-genome association analysis toolset
plink expects as input the data from SNP (single
nucleotide polymorphism) chips of many individuals
and their phenotypical description of a disease.
It finds associations of single or pairs of DNA
variations with a phenotype and can retrieve
SNP annotation from an online source.
.
SNPs can evaluated individually or as pairs for their
association with the disease phenotypes. The joint
investigation of copy number variations is supported.
A variety of statistical tests have been implemented.
.
Please note: The executable was renamed to plink1
because of a name clash. Please read more about this
in /usr/share/doc/plink/README.Debian.
