McCOILR

McCOILR

McCOILR is an Rcpp wrapper for THE REAL McCOIL software developed by the Greenhouse Lab that estimates complexity of infection and population allele frequencies using SNP data obtained from Sequenom or similar types of SNP assays. It was simply created to aid incorporating COI estimation more easily within distributed computing pipelines, and I claim no ownership over the original source code, and all attribution and acknowledgement should be referred to the original project, and the associated publication1.
