 |
| ROP
Read origin protocol (ROP) is a computational protocol aimed to discover the source of all reads. The ‘dumpster diving’ profile of unmapped reads may be applied to whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing.

CAVIAR
CAusal Variants Identication in Associated Regions (CAVIAR) is a statistical framework that quantifies the probability of each variant to be causal while allowing with arbitrary number of causal variants.
|
 |
 |
| multiTrans
multiTrans is an efficient and accurate multiple testing correction approach for linear mixed models. It transforms genotype data to account for genetic relatedness and heritability under linear mixed models.
|
SLIP and SLIDE
Sliding-window method for Locally Inter-correlated markers with asymptotic Distribution Errors corrected (SLIDE) is a MVN-based multiple hypothesis testing correction method. Sliding-window method for Locally Inter-correlated markers for Power estimation (SLIP) is a MVN-based power estimation method.

 |
| METASOFT
METASOFT is a free, open-source meta-analysis software tool for genome-wide association study analysis, designed to perform a range of basic and advanced meta-analytic methods in an efficient manner.
|
ForestPMPlot
ForestPMPlot is a python-interfaced R tool for analyzing the heterogeneous genetic effects on the phenotype in different study conditions in meta-analysis by visualizing the effect size differences between studies.
|
 |
 |
| PyLMM
PyLMM is a fast and lightweight python-based linear mixed-model solver for use in genome-wide association studies. It can also be used as a python module to build your own custom programs.
|
VGA
Viral Genome Assembler (VGA) is a method for accurate assembly of a heterogeneous viral population consisting of an individual’s viral genomes. VGA can eliminate errors from sequencing data.
|
 |
 |
| GAMMA
Generalized Analysis of Molecular variance for Mixed model Analysis (GAMMA) is a method that can simultaneously analyze many phenotypes as well as correct for population structure.
|
ASE
Allele-Specific Expression mapping (ASE) is a statistical framework that increases the computational power of eQTL with an alternative and complementary approach based on analyzing allele specific expression.

| WHAP Weighted HAPlotype (WHAP) is a statistical test for case/control association studies that increases power of association studies by leveraging linkage disequilibrium patterns estimated from the HapMap. http://whap.cs.ucla.edu/ |
Noah Zaitlen noah [dot] zaitlen [at] ucsf [dot] edu |
| SPA Spatial Ancestry analysis (SPA) is a method for predicting ancestry or where an individual is from using the individual’s DNA. Accurately modeling ancestry is an important step in identifying genetic variation involved in disease. http://genetics.cs.ucla.edu/spa/ |
Eleazar Eskin eeskin [at] cs [dot] ucla [dot] edu |
| NICE Next-generation Intersample Correlation Emended (NICE) is a statistical test for correcting for expression heterogeneity inherent in expression dataset due to confounding from unmodeled factors. http://genetics.cs.ucla.edu/nice_jemdoc/ |
