 MADMAPPER
o full name:
o version: September 2005
o descriptions: suite of Python scripts for quality control of genetic markers, group
analysis and inference of linear order of markers on linkage groups.
MadMapper_RECBIT analyses raw marker scores for recombinant inbred lines.
MadMapper_RECBIT generates pairwise distance scores for all markers, clusters
based on pairwise distances, identifies genetic bins, assigns new markers to
known linkage groups, validates allele calls, and assigns quality classes to each
marker based on several criteria and cutoff values. MadMapper_XDELTA utilizes
new algorithm, Minimum Entropy Approach and Best-Fit Extension, to infer
linear order of markers. MadMapper_XDELTA analyzes two-dimensional
matrices of all pairwise scores and finds best map that has minimal total sum of
differences between adjacent cells (map with lowest entropy). MadMapper is

 MAOS
ofull name: Meta-Analysis with Overlapping Subjects
oversion:
odescriptions: Data from genome-wide association studies are often analyzed
jointly for the purposes of combining information from multiple studies of the
same disease or comparing results across different disorders. In many instances,
the same subjects appear in multiple studies. Failure to account for overlapping
subjects can greatly inflate type I error when combining results from multiple
studies of the same disease and can drastically reduce power when comparing
results across different disorders. MAOS implements valid and efficient statistical
methods for meta-analysis of genomewide association studies with overlapping
subjects. The current release performs logistic regression analysis of individual
level data under the additive mode of inheritance.

showing segregation distortion due to differential viability of gametes or zygotes.

and 3) a map file. Mega2 then takes this trio of input files and, via a menu-driven
interface, transforms them into various other file formats, thus greatly facilitating
a variety of different analyses. In addition, for many of these options, it also sets
up a C-shell script that then can automatically run these analyses (if you are using
Mega2 in a Unix environment that supports C-shell scripts).

 MEGASNPHUNTER
o full name:
o version:
o descriptions: MegaSNPHunter takes case-control genotype data as input and
produces a ranked list of multi-SNP interactions. In particular, the whole genome
is first partitioned into multiple short subgenomes and a boosting tree classifier is
built for each subgenomes based on multi-SNP interactions and then used to
measure the importance of SNPs. The method keeps relatively more important
SNPs from all subgenomes and let them compete with each other in the same way
at the next level. The competition terminates when the number of selected SNPs is
less than the size of a subgenome.

o version: 1.0.1
o descriptions: Merlin carries out single-point and multipoint analyses of pedigree
data, including IBD and kinship calculations, nonparametric and variance
component linkage analyses, error detection and information content mapping.
For multipoint analyses in dense maps, Merlin allows the user to impose
constraints on the number of recombinants between consecutive markers. Merlin
estimates haplotypes by finding the most likely path of gene flow or by sampling
paths of gene flow at all markers jointly. It can also list all possible
nonrecombinant haplotypes within short regions. Finally, Merlin provides swap-
file support for handling very large numbers of markers as well as gene-dropping
simulations for estimating empirical significance levels.

families. Because families are ranked, a priori covariate cutpoints are not
necessary. Covariates may include linkage evidence at other genes, environmental
exposures, or biological trait values such as cholesterol, age at onset, and so on.

 PASS PEDIGREE
o full name:
o version:
o descriptions: PASS Pedigree is drawing the most complex family trees in a matter
of minutes instead of hours of work. The basis of this is an algorithm for
automatically builing a family tree. Of course, manual adjustments in the family
tree can be made for your specific requirements. PASS Pedigree meets all
international conventions concerning the drawing of pedigrees. A converter can
convert historical Cyrillic pedigrees automatically to PASS Pedigree. Unlike
before, all your family trees are stored in one single database. PASS Pedigree can
intelligently connect to many genetic centers (e.g. three genetic centers in the
Netherlands) with the existing patient information, via the lab system HELIX
based on HL7 techniques.

Produces text and graphical (PDF) summaries of the family structure, trait and
marker information of pedigree data and can break down summaries by sex,
relative pair type or family. PEDSTATS also does Hardy-Weinberg testing using
either a fast exact or asymptotic test and can summarize information in text or
graphical PDF format. Additional features include a number of options for
filtering data prior to summary and checks for inappropriate age or covariate
values. Lastly, PEDSTATS can identify and trim uninformative individuals from
a pedigree and rewrite the reorganized data to a new pedigree file.

for recombination and decay of Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) with distance,
which results in more accurate haplotype estimates. This model also allows the
user to estimate recombination rates, and identify recombination hotspots from
population genotype data. (3) the facility to perform a test for haplotype
frequency differences between cases and controls. (4) more extensive output
summarising the results.

 PIAGE
o full name: Power of Indirect Association Studies of Gene-Environment
Interactions
o version: 1.0 (March 2008)
o descriptions: The program PIAGE performs estimation of power and sample sizes
required to detect genetic and environmental main, as well as gene-environment
interaction (GxE) effects in indirect matched case-control studies (1:1 matching).
When the hypothesis of GxE is tested, power/sample size will be estimated for the
detection of GxE, as well as for the detection of genetic and environmental
marginal effects. Furthermore, power estimation is implemented for the joint test
of genetic marginal and GxE effects (Kraft P et al., 2007). Power and sample size
estimations are based on Gauderman's (2002) asymptotic approach for power and
sample size estimations in direct studies of GxE. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
and independence of genotypes and environmental exposures in the population
are assumed. The estimates are based on genotypic codes (G=1 (G=0) for
individuals who carry a (non-) risk genotype), which depend on the mode of
inheritance (dominant, recessive, or multiplicative). A conditional logistic
regression approach is used, which employs a likelihood-ratio test with respect to
a biallelic candidate SNP, a binary environmental factor (E=1 (E=0) in
(un)exposed individuals), and the interaction between these components.

genotype likelihood format (GLF) files which can be generated following the
Creation of GLF files instruction and outputs the result in the [VCF] format. The
variant calling and de novo mutation detection are modelled jointly within
families and can handle both nuclear and extended pedigrees without
consanguinity loops. The input is a set of GLF files for each of family members
and the relationships are specified through the .ped file.

software in their personal computers before PROC QTL can be executed. Of
course, users need a regular SAS license prior to the installation of PROC QTL.
Once PROC QTL is installed, it can be called just like any other SAS procedures.
Users will not notice the differences between this customized procedure and other
built-in SAS procedures.

 PSEUDO
o full name:
o version: 0.3.5
o descriptions: Pseudo estimates genomewide empirical p-values for Kong and Cox
tests of linkage using the replicate pool method, which for many data sets,
improves upon the computational efficiency of conventional gene-dropping
methods by several orders of magnitude. This allows Pseudo to handle data sets
with large families and makes it particularly applicable to those situations where
p-value estimation by standard methods is computationally prohibitive. Pseudo
also estimates variance for reported p-values, produces graphical and text
summaries of results, and is able to assess significance of multiple correlated
outcomes. Pseudo is designed to work with the Merlin package and includes
utilities for generating input files from standard Merlin output.
