This report details association testing strategies and the Mendel software, highlighting its advanced features for genetic analysis. Mendel offers innovative methods for genetic association studies, enhancing statistical power and flexibility.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Association testing is crucial for understanding genetic influences on diseases.
  • Choosing appropriate statistical methods depends on study design, trait, and markers.
  • Existing software may lack comprehensive options for complex genetic analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a user-centric overview of association testing strategies.
  • To highlight the advanced capabilities of the Mendel computer program for genetic association studies.
  • To explain novel statistical methods and their implementation in Mendel.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of association testing principles based on study sample, disease trait, and marker type.
  • Explanation of parametric vs. nonparametric testing choices.
