PLINK is a free, commonly used, open-source whole genome association analysis toolset designed by Shaun Purcell. The software is designed flexibly to perform a wide range of basic, large-scale genetic analyses. PLINK currently supports following functionalities: * data management; * basic statistics; * Linkage disequilibrium (LD) calculation; * Identity by descent (IBD) and identity by state (IBS) matrix calculation; * population stratification; * association analysis such as Genome-wide association study for both basic case/control studies and quantitative traits. ==Extensions and current developments== * PLINK 2.0 a comprehensive update to PLINK, developed by Christopher Chang, with the improved speed of various Genome-wide association (GWA) calculations, including identity-by-state (IBS) matrix calculation, LD-based pruning and association analysis. * PLINK/SEQ is an open-source C/C++ library designed for analyzing large scale whole-genome and whole-exome studies. * MQFAM is a multivariate test of association (MQFAM) that can be efficiently applied to large population-based samples and is implemented in PLINK. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PLINK (genetic tool-set)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
