Traditional ‘phasing’ programs are limited to diploid organisms. Our method modifies Li and Stephen’s algorithm with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches, and builds a generic framework that allows haloptype searches in a multiple infection setting.

It is recommended to use the current CRAN version. It can be installed from within R using

> install.packages('DEploid')

For the developing version, please install Rcpp package first. From the R-console, type

> install.packages("Rcpp")

(NOTE: If you are using Windows, please install Rtools from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/)

then

> install.packages("devtools")
> library(devtools)
> install_github("mcveanlab/DEploid-r")

Please refer to the help page and examples for each function. For example,

> library(DEploid)
> ?dEploid
> ?plotProportions
