    The W-test website:  http://www2.ccrb.cuhk.edu.hk/wtest/

 

·        Software available in R and C++ 

·        This software conducts the W-test for main effect and pairwise epistasis effect testing in genetic association study (GWAS) case and control data set.

     The Zoom-Focus Algorithm (zfa) software

 

·        zfa package in R - updated 2018.06.29 

o   Reference manual: zfa.pdf

o   Windows binaries: zfa_3.0.zip

o   Package source:  zfa_3.0.tar.gz

o   The zfa3.0 version adds a visualizing plot to show the distribution of association effect size and direction, and enables the calculation for any gene size using a method called fuzzy-zfa (not published yet). A function is added to calculate genomic control factor for rare variants to control potential population stratification

 

·        Description: 

o   This software locates the optimal testing region to conduct rare variant association test and performs the test. Currently incorporated rare variant tests include: SKAT, SKAT-O, weighted burden test, and the W-test collapsing method. The function calls the existing package ‘SKAT’. It is suitable to be applied on whole exome or genome-sequencing data set composed of variants with minor allele frequency < 1%.
