R package: parallel computing toolset for relatedness and principal component analysis of SNP data (Development version only)
SNPRelate: Parallel computing toolset for relatedness and principal component analysis of SNP data
GNU General Public License, GPLv3
Features
Genome-wide association studies are widely used to investigate the genetic basis of diseases and traits, but they pose many computational challenges. We developed SNPRelate (R package for multi-core symmetric multiprocessing computer architectures) to accelerate two key computations on SNP data: principal component analysis (PCA) and relatedness analysis using identity-by-descent measures. The kernels of our algorithms are written in C/C++ and highly optimized.
The GDS format offers the efficient operations specifically designed for integers with two bits, since a SNP could occupy only two bits. The SNP GDS format in this package is also used by the GWASTools package with the support of S4 classes and generic functions. The extended GDS format is implemented in the SeqArray package to support the storage of single nucleotide variation (SNV), insertion/deletion polymorphism (indel) and structural variation calls. It is strongly suggested to use SeqArray for large-scale whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing variant data instead of SNPRelate.

Installation
- Bioconductor repository:
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("SNPRelate")
- Development version from Github (for developers/testers only):
library("devtools")
install_github("zhengxwen/gdsfmt")
install_github("zhengxwen/SNPRelate")
The install_github() approach requires that you build from source, i.e. make and compilers must be installed on your system -- see the R FAQ for your operating system; you may also need to install dependencies manually.

Install the package from the source code with the support of Intel SIMD Intrinsics:
You have to customize the package compilation, see: CRAN: Customizing-package-compilation
Change ~/.R/Makevars to, assuming GNU Compilers (gcc/g++) or Clang compiler (clang++) are installed:
## for C code
CFLAGS=-g -O3 -march=native -mtune=native
## for C++ code
CXXFLAGS=-g -O3 -march=native -mtune=native
