@magnusdv magnusdv released this 08 Jun 09:01

This release introduces a number of minor improvements of the interaction with the external software MERLIN used for analysis of linked markers (https://csg.sph.umich.edu/abecasis/merlin/index.html).

New features

  • merlin() gains argument checkpath, which can be set this to FALSE to avoid redundant checks of MERLIN availability.

  • likelihoodMerlin() gains argument perChrom, used to parse the chromosome-wise likelihoods from the MERLIN output.

  • lumpAlleles() gains argument always. By default lumping is skipped for markers where all individuals are genotyped, but this can cause problems e.g. with MERLIN which operates with an upper limit of allleles.

  • Some efforts are done to check for (and warn about) underflow/overflow in MERLIN results.
