geneSLOPE -- Genome Wide Association Study with SLOPE

Package geneSLOPE can be used to perform Genome-wide association study with SLOPE.

Such an analysis is split into three steps.

1. Data is read and immediately screened using marginal test for each SNP

2. SNPs are clumped based on correlations

3. SLOPE is performed on reduced data. Each clump is represented by one SNP
