ʻO ka Genome-wide association study (GWAS) ka manaʻo e ʻike i nā ʻano ʻano genetic (genotype) e pili ana i nā ʻano kikoʻī (phenotype).Ke noiʻi nei nā haʻawina GWA i nā hōʻailona genetic e hele i ka genome holoʻokoʻa o ka heluna nui o nā kānaka a wānana i nā hui genotype-phenotype ma o ka loiloi helu helu ma ka pae heluna kanaka.Hiki ke ʻike i nā ʻano genetic āpau i ka resequencing holoʻokoʻa.Hoʻopili ʻia me ka ʻikepili phenotypic, hiki ke hana ʻia ʻo GWAS e ʻike i nā SNP pili phenotype, QTL a me nā genes moho, e kākoʻo ikaika ana i ka hoʻohua holoholona/mea kanu hou.ʻO SLAF kahi hoʻolālā hoʻolālā genome maʻalahi i hoʻomohala ʻia, kahi e ʻike ai i nā māka hoʻolaha genome-ākea, SNP.ʻO kēia mau SNP, ma ke ʻano he molecular genetic markers, hiki ke hana ʻia no nā haʻawina hui me nā ʻano i kuhikuhi ʻia.He hoʻolālā kumu kūʻai i ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻano paʻakikī e pili ana i nā ʻano like ʻole.
