Input data requirement1

Genetics Utilities

Checking and manipulation of data to improve suitability for subsequent analyses.

A wide or annotation data set, or both, depending on the process.

Note: SNP Power does not require an input data set.

Relatedness Measures

Computation of kinship, relationship, identity, and population statistics.

Wide, tall, or square data, depending on the process.

Genetic Marker Statistics

Summarizing and displaying genetic marker information.

Wide data.

GWAS Testing

Genome-wide association studies analysis.

Wide data (for most).

Other Association Testing

Association tests that are not conducted at the genome level.

Wide data, with an annotation data set either optional or required, for most.

Haplotype Analysis

Estimation of unobserved haplotype frequencies, determination of haplotype from potential trait-influencing markers, and elucidation of markers determinate of haplotype diversity.

Some are specialized. See individual process descriptions.

Model-free Linkage

Sib-pair chi-square linkage tests.

A specialized identical-by-descent (IBD) data set and either a pedigree or an annotation data set, depending on the process.

Linkage Maps and QTL

Construction and viewing of linkage maps, quantitative trait loci signal detection, construction of genotype probability data sets, and generation of interval mapping models.

Either an input cross file or the output file from another process in this subcategory. Some also require an annotation data set.

Breeding Analysis

Summarizing and displaying categorical and quantitative population phenotypes; analysis of multi-environment trial (MET) genotype-by-environment interaction.

Wide or tall data, depending on the process.
