VEGAS 0.8.27 – Versatile Gene-based Association Study

VEGAS 0.8.27

:: DESCRIPTION

VEGAS (Versatile Gene-based Association Study) is a free program for performing gene-based tests for association using the results from genetic association studies. After reading in SNP association p-values, it will annotate SNPs according to their position in genes, produce a gene-based test statistic, and then use simulation to calculate an empirical gene-based p-value.
