Downloading WGAViewer

There are two types of installation packages currenly available: the standard edition and the lite edition. The lite edition offers limited functions, while the package size is much smaller than the standard version. We recommend the standard edition.

Standard edition

Note: you will need to download three data files. You will need 7zip ( http://www.7-zip.org ) to combine and extract those data files.

[File 1, ~ 50MB] WGAViewer.7z.001
[File 2, ~ 50MB] WGAViewer.7z.002
[File 3, ~ 35MB] WGAViewer.7z.003

Lite edition

Note: you will need to download either a Microsoft Windows installer file, or a zip file.

[Microsoft Windows installer, ~ 30MB] WGAViewer_Lite_Windows.exe

or

[Zip file, ~ 45MB] WGAViewer_Lite.zip

New! Extension to the WGAViewer program

Compared with previous discovery strategies, a whole-genome sequencing study is no longer constrained by differing patterns of linkage disequilibrium (Need and Goldstein, Trends in Genetics 2009;25(11):489-494), thus, in theory, is more possible to directly identify the gentic variants contributing to biological traits or medical outcomes.

The rapidly evolving high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have now allowed the fast generation of large amount of sequence data for the purpose of performing such whole-genome sequencing studies, at a reasonable cost. SequenceVariantAnalyzer, or SVA, is a software tool that we have been developing to analyze the genetic variants identified from such studies.

If you use WGAViewer in any published work, please kindly cite our work. For a list of publications citing WGAViewer, click here.
