Abstract

Summary: Mega2, the manipulation environment for genetic analysis, transparently allows users to process genetic data for family-based or case/control studies accurately and efficiently. In addition to data validation checks, Mega2 provides analysis setup capabilities for a broad choice of commonly used genetic analysis programs, including SimWalk2, ASPEX, GeneHunter, SLINK, SIMULATE, S.A.G.E., SOLAR, Vitesse, Allegro, PREST, PAP, Loki, Merlin and MENDEL.
