GEC 1.0 – Address Multiple-testing Issue with dependent SNPs

GEC 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

The GEC (Genetic Type I error calculator) is a Java-based application developed to address multiple-testing issue with dependent Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).  Based on this new measure, several popular multiple-testing methods including Bonferroni, Holm, Simes correction was improved to evaluate significance level of SNP p-values in genome-wide association studies.
