Abstract

PreMeta is a software program written in C++ that is designed to facilitate the exchange of information between four software packages for meta-analysis of rare-variant associations: MASS,
RAREMETAL, MetaSKAT, and seqMeta. PreMeta has two related purposes: one is to allow the
use of different software packages within the same consortium; and the second is to eliminate the
need to recalculate summary statistics when investigators join a new consortium that has adopted
a different software package.
