A step-by-step tutorial repository teaching genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis, including quality control, population stratification, association testing, and polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis. It provides shell and R scripts designed for researchers without prior Unix experience, using freely downloadable genetic data.

Use cases

• learn how to perform GWAS quality control steps
• understand how to correct for population stratification using 1000 Genomes data
• run association analyses on GWAS data
• learn polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis
• get started with genetic data analysis without Unix experience
• use GWAS analysis scripts as a template for my own data
• learn to use PLINK and R for genomics

When to choose

• you are a researcher new to GWAS and need a guided, step-by-step walkthrough
• you want educational scripts covering QC through PRS in one place
• you need a template pipeline for analyzing your own genetic data
• you want to learn PLINK and R workflows on a Unix/Linux system

When to avoid

• you need production-ready, maintained software with a license for clinical use
• you work on Windows without a Unix/Linux environment or server
• you need a polished GUI or interactive tool rather than shell scripts
• you require guaranteed support or updates, as the project is tutorial-oriented
