qctool v2
A tool for quality control and analysis of gwas datasets.

Introduction

QCTOOL is a command-line utility program for manipulation and quality control of gwas datasets and other genome-wide data. QCTOOL can be used

QCTOOL is designed to be as easy-to-use as possible and we hope you find it so. See the basic usage page for a quick start on running QCTOOL, and the diagram of options for an overview of how QCTOOL works.

IMPORTANT: this page documents QCTOOL version 2, which differs in several important ways from the original QCTOOL v1. Version 1 is still available but is now unsupported.
