| Title | GENLIB |
| Short Description | An R package for the analysis of genealogical data |
| Long Description | GENLIB is an R package specifically designed to analyze large genealogical datasets. Genealogical data from human founder populations can contribute to research in diverse fields from genetic epidemiology to historical geography, along with population genetics, evolutionary biology, demography and social history. Animal and plant geneticists also need to analyze large pedigrees. GENLIB has several functionalities ranging from descriptive statistics specifically developed for genealogical data to simulations of genomic segments passed down the genealogies from the founders. GENLIB functions can be grouped into 4 categories: i) genealogical data management, ii) data description and visualisation, iii) computation of relevant statistics (e.g., kinship coefficients for pairs of individuals) and iv) simulations. |
