In nikostourvas/PopGenUtils: A collection of useful functions to deal with genetic data in R

PopGenUtils

The PopGenUtils package is developed as a way to document a collection of helper functions for the analysis of population genetics data.

What can this package do?

• It can gather exported genotyping data from GeneMapper software and generate input files for downstream analysis software such as GenAlEx or adegenet.
• It can calculate Probability of Identity (PID) & PIDsibs, which are useful statistics in forensic DNA analysis and in cultivar identification.
• It provides a wrapper function for the calculation of Polymorphic Information Content via the package polysat for genind objects.
• It provides an easy way to create a TreeMix input file for microsatellite data.

You can find more info on how to use the package by typing in the R console:

library(PopGenUtils)
help(package = "PopGenUtils")
