[GenABEL-dev] Proposing the CollapsABEL R package for inclusion

[K. Zhong]

Dear all,

I have recently finished an R package for compound heterozygosity analysis for microarray/NGS data. This package (named CollapsABEL) implements an extended version of the CDH test<http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0028145> (see DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0028145) in a flexible, efficient and user friendly way  and has already proved useful for our analysis with certain dermatology traits. CDH test has been implemented before as a function in the GenABEL package, but due to the simplicity of the method itself and restriction from the data format it uses, it is practically not very useful. CollapsABEL overcomes these limitations and provides a nice streamlined solution in your hands, for which reason I think it would be a nice addition to the GenABEL family.

The project is hosted on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/kindlychung/collapsabel/overview
The R manual and an extensive tutorial can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/kindlychung/collapsabel/downloads

If you are willing to review this package, please let me know.


Best regards,

Kaiyin ZHONG
