Update (07/18/2013)

PURPOSE: R package for detection of parent-of-origin effects at quantitative trait loci on autosomes in the presence of association using general pedigree data. Families with missing genotype data are allowed and Monte Carlo samples of the missing genotypes conditional on the observed data will be used.

NOTE: This package was built on R (version 3.0.0 with 32-bit). Users should install and use the package under the R (version 3.0.0 with 32-bit) environment.

Sample pedigree file: ped.txt

Instructions: Instructions.txt
