R-qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental crosses. Our goal is to make complex QTL mapping methods widely accessible and allow users to focus on modeling rather than computing. A key component of computational methods for QTL mapping is the hidden Markov model (HMM) technology for dealing with missing genotype data. We have implemented the main HMM algorithms, with allowance for the presence of genotyping errors, for backcrosses, intercrosses, and phase-known four-way crosses. The current version of R-qtl includes facilities for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and performing single-QTL genome scans and two-QTL, two-dimensional genome scans, by interval mapping (with the EM algorithm), Haley-Knott regression, and multiple imputation. All of this may be done in the presence of covariates (such as sex, age or treatment). One may also fit higher-order QTL models by multiple imputation and Haley-Knott regression.
A small wrapper on 'regexpr' to extract the matches and captured groups from the match of a regular expression to a character vector.
String and byte representations for all kinds of R objects
Convenience wrapper that uses the 'rmarkdown' package to render small snippets of code to target formats that include both code and output. The goal is to encourage the sharing of small, reproducible, and runnable examples on code-oriented websites, such as <https://stackoverflow.com> and <https://github.com>, or in email. 'reprex' also extracts clean, runnable R code from various common formats, such as copy/paste from an R session.
Flexibly restructure and aggregate data using just two functions: melt and cast.
Flexibly restructure and aggregate data using just two functions: melt and 'dcast' (or 'acast').
Interface to 'Python' modules, classes, and functions. When calling into 'Python', R data types are automatically converted to their equivalent 'Python' types. When values are returned from 'Python' to R they are converted back to R types.
A friendly interface for the construction of regular expressions.
Provides bindings to the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library ('GDAL') (>= 1.6.3) and access to projection/transformation operations from the 'PROJ.4' library. Both 'GDAL' raster and 'OGR' vector map data can be imported into R, and 'GDAL' raster data and 'OGR' vector data exported. Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package.
Interface to Geometry Engine - Open Source ('GEOS') using the C 'API' for topology operations on geometries.
