		S4 Tools for Reading and Organizing Genetic Data // Provides an
		integrated suite of tools for handling single nucleotide
		polymorphism (SNP) genotype data in large-scale genetic
		studies. Supports importing and merging genotype files,
		performing quality control on SNP markers and samples, and
		preparing data for downstream analyses using popular software
		such as 'FImpute' and 'PLINK'. Offers S4 classes and methods to
		efficiently encapsulate SNP data, along with utilities for
		generating genotype summary statistics and visualization.
		Additional functionalities include anticlustering approaches
		for batch effect control, automated script generation for
		external software, and streamlined workflows for large datasets
		commonly encountered in animal and plant breeding programs.
		Designed to facilitate reproducible and scalable SNP data
		analyses in quantitative and statistical genetics.
