ARG-Needle and arg-needle-lib

ARG-Needle is an algorithm to reconstruct the genealogical history (ancestral recombination graph, ARG) of large collections of sequenced or genotyped genomes. ARG-Needle-lib is a library that can be used to perform genealogy-wide association and other analyses. This package also implements the ASMC-clust ARG reconstruction algorithm described in the manuscript.
