Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have substantially improved our understanding of the complex genetic architecture of many common traits. For the last decade, more than a thousand genetic variants were discovered using GWAS. The fast development of the field necessitated the improvement of existing instruments as well as the development of new ones. This thesis discusses methodology, software tools and new approaches facilitating the study of the complex genetic architecture of common traits.
