SRAT implements a fully rank-based and flexible approach to test for association between a set of genetic variants and an outcome, while accounting for within-family correlation and adjusting for covariates. The method is designed for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and next-generation sequencing studies (NGSS) performed on family data.
