Genomizer
Genomizer is a platform independent Java program for the analysis of genome wide association experiments.
Genomizer is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. Genomizer is not for commercial use.
For haplotype analysis, Genomizer uses whap (Shaun Purcell/Pak Sham). Instructions and source code can be found here.

System Requirements
Genomizer runs on all Windows and Linux platforms.
Installation Instructions
Before you run the Genomizer setup program you need to install a Java Runtime Environment and a MySQL database server on your computer. Both installations are straightforward and do not require any advanced computer skills.
-
Java
Because Genomizer is written in Java you need a Java platform (including Java virtual machine) on your computer in order to run the program. Make sure you have version 1.4 or higher of the Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE) Standard Edition from Sun installed on your system. Overwriting existing J2RE installations might cause problems with other installed programs.

MySQL
You need to have a MySQL database server running on your computer. Version 4.0 or higher is recommended. After having installed MySQL you must create a new database called "genomizer". You can do this with the included command line client by typing the SQL command 'create database genomizer'. Alternatively you can use a graphical client (see the MySQL website for recommended programs). The required tables can later be created with Genomizer. Instead of using a local database server you might connect to a remote server over the network.

After having installed the Java 2 Runtime Environment and MySQL you can run the Genomizer installer.
To view the graphical output of Genomizer on Windows computers you need to install Adobe SVG Viewer.

For viewing SVG under Linux we recommend to use Squiggle, which comes with Batik.
