The snpReady R package is a new instrument developed to help breeders in genomic projects such as genomic prediction and association studies. This package offers three different methods to build the genomic relationship matrix, a new imputation method for missing markers based on Wright’s theory, and a population genetic overview. Therefore, we implemented three functions (raw.data, G.matrix, and popgen). Hence, this tool allows the raw data to be transformed from different genotyping platforms to numeric matrices and performs quality control (missing data and allele frequency). Moreover, the package generates and exports four different relationship matrices (proposed by Yang et al. (N 569:565–569, 2010), VanRaden (JDS 91:4414–23, 2008), and the Gaussian kernel) depending on the purpose and software to be used in further analysis. Finally, based on the genotypic matrix, the package …
