pedtools 2.5.0

New features

• New functions maskPed() and unmaskPed() for anonymising pedigree data, and restoring them.

• New function setAlleleLabels() for changing the allele labels of a marker.

• The .pedScaling() gains arguments autoScale and minsize.

• readPed() gains argument colSkip, useful e.g., when reading .ped files with an AFF column.

• The relabel() function for relabelling individuals now allows the argument new to be a function, taking the old labels as input. For instance, relabel(x, toupper) gives upper-case labels for everyone.

Bug fixes

• Preserve the class attribute of MARKERS when subsetting.
