GenABEL.org

GenABEL, or *ABEL, is an umbrella name for a number of software packages aiming to facilitate statistical analyses of polymorphic genomes data. This is reach program set which now allows very flexible genome-wide association (GWA) analysis (GenABEL, ProbABEL, MixABEL, OmicABEL), meta-analysis (MetABEL), parallelization of GWA analyses (ParallABEL), management of very large files (DatABEL), and facilitates evaluation of prediction (PredictABEL).

Most likely, you only need one of the packages for your specific task. Figure out which one you need, install, and use! If you have questions, please refer to the "Support" section of this web-site.

The code for latest development versions of all packages are available from GenABEL on R-forge

For stable releases, use CRAN version for R packages or links provided at this web-site
