Plink 1.9
PLINK is a free, open-source whole genome association analysis toolset, designed to perform a range of basic, large-scale analyses in a computationally efficient manner. Development of the baseline PLINK toolset has resumed and beta testing for the next (1.90) release has now begun.The new release, by Chris Chang and colleagues, is a complete rewrite of the original code and represents a very significant improvement in overall speed and functionality. Moving forward, these changes should enable PLINK to meet the demands of ever-larger genetic datasets.
