Algebraic and Statistical Functions for Genetics

This is a collection of fast tools for application in quantitative genetics. For instance, the SNP matrix can be stored in a minimum of memory and the calculation of the genomic relationship matrix is based on a rapid algorithm. It also contains the window scanning approach by Kabluchko and Spodarev (2009), to detect anomalous genomic areas . Furthermore, the package is used in the Modular Breeding Program Simulator (MoBPS, < https://github.com/tpook92/MoBPS>, < https://www.mobps.de/>). The tools are based on SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data, < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD>) and OMP (Open Multi-Processing, < https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP>).
