PLINK is a free, open-source whole genome association analysis toolset, designed to perform a range of basic, large-scale analyses in a computationally efficient manner.
Plink是一个免费的,开源的全基因组关联分析的工具集,是设计用来在高效计算方式完成一系列基础的,大规模分析。
The focus of PLINK is purely on analysis of genotype/phenotype data, so there is no support for steps prior to this (e.g. study design and planning, generating genotype or CNV calls from raw data). Through integration withgPLINK and Haploview, there is some support for the subsequent visualization, annotation and storage of results.
Plink的关注点在于基因型/表型的数据分析,因此没有关于在这(运行plink)之前的步骤的帮助(例如研究方案的设计与计划,产生基因型或者从raw data中找出CNV)。通过gPLINK和Haploview软件覆盖,后期数据的可视化、注释和结果的储存还是有一些帮助与支持的。
