GWASinspector

Tools for (automated and manual) quality control of the results of Genome Wide Association Studies

When evaluating the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS), it is important to perform a quality control to ensure that the results are valid, complete, correctly formatted, and, in case of meta-analysis, consistent with other studies that have applied the same analysis. This package was developed to facilitate and streamline this process and provide the user with a comprehensive report. It will also generate cleaned, harmonized GWAS files ready for meta-analysis.

GWASinspector has many features. Detailed instructions on how to use the package can be found in the manual. A sample vignette is also available from here.
