Easy-to-use R functions to separate reduced-representation genomic datasets into sex-linked and autosomal loci, and conduct sex-assignment.

We work with SNP datasets produced by Reduced-representation sequencing (RRS). The datasets are imported to R environment as genlight objects. We developed and tested a suite of R functions for filtering and manipulating genlight object. 


Our paper presents the following four functions (explained by Diana in this video):
