Source The Exelixis Lab, Scientific Computing Group, Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies. Abstract MOTIVATION: Recent advances in sequencing technologies have led to the rapid accumulation of molecular sequence data. Analyzing whole-genome data (as obtained from next-generation sequencers) from intra-species samples allows to detect signatures of positive selection along the genome and therefore identify potentially advantageous genes in the course of the evolution of a population.We introduce OmegaPlus, an open-source tool for rapid detection of selective sweeps in whole-genome data based on linkage dis-equilibrium. The tool is up to two orders of magnitude faster than existing programs for this purpose and also exhibits up to two orders of magnitude smaller memory requirements. AVAILABILITY: OmegaPlus is available under GNU GPL at http://www.exelixis-lab.org/software.html. CONTACT: pavlos.pavlidis@h-its.org SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Available at Bioinformatics online.
