G2P: a Genome-Wide-Association-Study simulation tool for genotype simulation, phenotype simulation and power evaluation

Motivation Plenty of Genome-Wide-Association-Study (GWAS) methods have been developed for mapping genetic markers that associated with human diseases and agricultural economic traits. Computer simulation is a nice tool to test the performances of various GWAS methods under certain scenarios. Existing tools are either inefficient in terms of computation and memory efficiency or inconvenient to use to simulate big, realistic genotype data and...
