GenABEL is a software created to facilitate whole-genome association analysis. Specific features of GenABEL include:

Support of modern methods for analysis in outbred populations
Maximum Likelihood estimation of linear, logistic and Cox regression on genome-wide scale
A range of functions specifically designed to help GWA analysis in samples of individuals from genetically isolated populations, and/or samples of related individuals (family-based design), and other analysis in presence of stratification
Special functions oriented to meta-analysis
Extensive documentation (about 100 pages of reference manual and 150 pages of tutorial)
Many example data sets and exercises
