New publication: Methods and Tools in Genome-wide Association Studies

Anja, Damian, Dominik and Karsten wrote a very nice introduction to methods and tools in genome-wide association studies.

by Katharina Heinrich

They present the different statistical models and the assumptions on which they are based, explain peculiarities of the data that have to be accounted for and, most importantly, introduce commonly used tools and software packages for the different tasks in a genome-wide association study, complemented with examples for their application.

The work was published as chapter in the book "Computational Cell Biology" (Stechow L., Santos Delgado A. (eds). Methods in Molecular Biology, vol 1819. Humana Press, New York, NY 2018).
