Hi All,

I have some genetic data and I want to resample it changing the number of 
individuals and/or the number of markers to show the effects of smaller sample 
sizes on the pairwise-IBD calculations.  The “standard” I need to follow is 
PLINK, specifically the --genome option.  I could create multiple subsets of 
the data, export it an have PLINK do the needed calculations, and then reimport 
the results in R, but this is obviously pretty silly, especially because it 
would require creating, exporting and importing a few hundreds files.  I could 
write the needed functions to do what PLINK does, but I’d rather not reinvent 
the wheel so it might be worth asking:  is there any package/function that 
would do (in R) what PLINK does with --genome?   

Bets wishes

F
