#### GIGI2

GIGI2 is a computer program to impute missing genotypes on pedigrees. The
approach handles large pedigrees by using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo-based
program to infer inheritance vectors. Our approach has 2 steps: 1. use the
program gl\_auto from the MORGAN package to infer inference vectors using
genotypes from informative framework markers 2. use GIGI to impute missing
genotypes.
Note 1: gl\_auto and MORGAN are NOT included in this snap, gl\_auto
should be obtained through its own channels. GIGI2 inputs are outputs from gl\_auto.
Note 2: The strict confinement of this app limits where it can write to. To allow it to write in your home directory, you need to attach the home interface to the snap. Likewise if you need to write to external devices mounted in /mnt or /media.
e.g. 'snap connect gigi2:home :home' to be able to write in your /home/user
and 'snap connect gigi2:removable-media :removable-media' to write in
/mnt/vol\_name and /media/vol\_name
If you need to write to other locations, then you will need to install the
snap in devmode, e.g. 'snap install --devmode gigi2' If it was already
installed and you need to install in devmode, then I recommend first
removing the currently installed version, 'snap remove gigi2'
