Description-en: 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.
.
plink2 is a comprehensive update of plink and plink1.9 with new algorithms
and new methods, faster and less memory consumer than the first plink.
