FaST-LMM: FActored Spectrally Transformed Linear Mixed Models

Project Description

FaST-LMM (Factored Spectrally Transformed Linear Mixed Models) is a program for performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on large data sets. It runs on both Windows and Linux system, and has been tested on data sets with over 120,000 individuals [1,2].

FaST-LMM-Set extends the capabilities of FaST-LMM to handle associations between sets of variants and phenotype [3].
