genepopedit

genepopedit manipulates multilocus molecular genotype datasets in R to enable data extraction, transformation, sampling, simulation, and software-format conversion for population genetic analyses.

Key Features:

• Data Manipulation Capabilities: Provides diagnostic, manipulation, sampling, simulation, and transformation-based functions to extract metadata and manipulate large genome-wide multilocus datasets without manual text editing.
• Loci, Samples, and Population Management: Enables direct modification and management of loci, individual samples, and population assignments within genomic datasets.
• Software Format Conversion: Converts genomic data into software-specific formats required by downstream analytical tools.
• R package integration: Compiled as an R package to support code-based integration into R analysis pipelines and reproducible data handling.
• Scalability and Stability: Demonstrated stability for datasets containing over 200,000 SNPs, supporting large-scale genome-wide analyses.

Scientific Applications:

• Population structure analysis: Supports analyses of population structure using multilocus genotype data.
• Demographic inference: Facilitates evaluation of demographic processes from multilocus datasets.
• Nonmodel species genomics: Enables manipulation and preparation of genomic data from diverse organisms, including nonmodel species, for downstream genetic analyses.

Methodology:

Implements code-based functions in R for diagnostic, manipulation, sampling, simulation, transformation, and software-format conversion of multilocus molecular data.
