detectRuns: a R Package for Runs of Homozygosity and Runs of Heterozygosity

Detect Runs of Homozygosity and Runs of Heterozygosity in diploid genomes

This repository contains the source code for the R package detectRUNS and related performance tests. Here's the directory content:

└── TODO

detectRUNS implements two statistical approaches to runs' detection:

• a sequential approach (consecutive runs, as described in Marras et al. 2015, and implemented in the software package Zanardi: https://github.com/bioinformatics-ptp/Zanardi);
• an approach based on overlapping sliding windows (à la Plink: Purcell et al. 2007)
