Abstract
Summary: Here we report on an R package for genome-wide association studies of orthologous genes in bacteria. Before using the software, orthologs from bacterial genomes or metagenomes are defined using local or online implementations of OrthoMCL. These presence-absence patterns are statistically associated with variation in user-collected phenotypes using the Mono-Associated GNotobiotic Animals Metagenome-Wide Association R package (MAGNAMWAR). Genotype-phenotype associations can be performed with several different statistical tests based on the type and distribution of the data. Availability and implementation: MAGNAMWAR is available on CRAN. Contact: john_chaston@byu.edu.Entities:
