polySegratio: An R library for autopolyploid segregation analysis

It is well known that the dosage level of markers in autopolyploids and allopolyploids can be characterised by their observed segregation ratios. On the other hand, contrary to methods employed in several studies, segregation ratios are not a good indicator of polyploid type (Qu and Hancock, 2002). The polySegratio package provides standard approaches to assess marker dosage in autopolyploids although the functions could equally well be applied to allopolyploids with specified expected segregation ratios. In addition, simulated sets of markers may be generated with specified dosages, ploidy and levels of oversidpersion. To use the library, you need to attach it with
