+Pkg-Description: reduction of population bias for genetic analyses
+ The EIGENSOFT package combines functionality from the group's population
+ genetics methods (Patterson et al. 2006) and their EIGENSTRAT stratification
+ method (Price et al. 2006). The EIGENSTRAT method uses principal components
+ analysis to explicitly model ancestry differences between cases and
+ controls along continuous axes of variation; the resulting correction is
+ specific to a candidate marker's variation in frequency across ancestral
+ populations, minimizing spurious associations while maximizing power to
+ detect true associations. The EIGENSOFT package has a built-in plotting
+ script and supports multiple file formats and quantitative phenotypes.
