qgg: an R package for large-scale quantitative genetic analyses.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: Here, we present the R package qgg, which provides an environment for large-scale genetic analyses of quantitative traits and diseases. The qgg package provides an infrastructure for efficient processing of large-scale genetic data and functions for estimating genetic parameters, and performing single and multiple marker association analyses and genomic-based predictions of phenotypes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The qgg package is freely available. For the latest updates, user guides and example scripts, consult the main page http//psoerensen.github.io/qgg. The current release is available from CRAN (https//CRAN.R-project.org/package=qgg) for all major operating systems. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
