In funkhou9/breedTools: Tools for use in breed composition prediction using genomic data

#' Estimate breed composition of unknown animals using genotyping data
#' 
#' The breedTools package contains functions used to determine the breed/ancestry composition
#' for test animals from their genotyping data alone. It does so using genotyping data from 
#' a set of reference populations. The methods contained in this package were used to generate
#' the manuscript by Funkhouser et al. in the inaugural issue of Translational Animal Science (TAS)
#' from January 2016.
#' \cr\cr
#' There are a few ways in which breedTools can infer breed composition. These are:
#' \itemize{
#'    \item Predict overall breed/ancestry proportions genome wide.
#'    \item Estimate breed posterior probabilities based on looking at
#'          phased, limited regions of the genome.
