The mission of the GenABEL project is to provide a free framework for collaborative, robust, transparent, open-source based development of statistical genomics methodology. We aim to streamline methodology discussion, development, implementation, dissemination and maintenance; through the community.

The GenABEL suite, while originally designed for the analysis of human genomic data, is also widely used for analysis of animal and plant data.
DatABEL package 0.9-4 is released on CRAN.
Yesterday, the GenABEL package 1.7-4 was released on CRAN. The release fixes an important bug concerning the GRAMMAR-Gamma

With the new year comes good news: ProbABEL v0.3.0 has been released today.
This release marks the end of a lot of work done on the internals of ProbABEL, which was started earlier this year by Maarten Kooyman. The most important thing a user will notice is an approximately four-fold speed increase when running palinear with the --mmscore option as well as possible speed increases in other use cases as well.
In his e-mail to the development mailing list of 2012-12-21 Maarten explains his work in more detail, including a few graphs of the speed gains.
We are happy to announce a new release of ProbABEL: version 0.2.2 is out!
