SNP-HWE – Routines for exact SNP tests of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

SNP-HWE

:: DESCRIPTION

SNP-HWE (SNP tests of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium) is based on an efficient algorithm for enumerating the exact heterozygote probability distribution conditional on the number of minor alleles present in the sample. It adequately controls Type I error rates within large and small samples and is suitable for use in large-scale studies of SNP data. With appropriate citation, these routines are freely available for your use and can be incorporated into other programs.
