The Dyer Laboratory: DLabGenetic Swift Package

Rodney Dyer

DLabGenetic

Current Version:

This package is the foundation layer for all genetic data analysis objects and routines needed in software developed for the iOS and OSX platforms from the DyerLab.

# Installation

Swift Package Manager (XCode 13)

Select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency… from the File menu.
Paste https://github.com/dyerlab/DLabGenetic.git in the dialog box.
Follow the Xcode’s instruction to complete the installation.

Why not CocoaPods, or Carthage, or blank?

Supporting multiple dependency managers makes maintaining a library exponentially more complicated and time consuming. Since, the Swift Package Manager is integrated with Xcode 11 (and greater), it’s the easiest choice to support going further.

This package defines the following base model objects:

Locus: A base class for genetic loci
Individual: A spatially referenced, multilocus sample.
Stratum: A heirarchical (tree-based data structure) collection of individuals.

On this, the following items may be extracted:

AlleleFrequencies
Diversity Statistics
AMOVA
PCA
Population Graph

This package depends upon the DLMatrix Swift Package for underlying vector and matrix representations.
