abstract: 'Uses as input genetic data that have been reformatted and stored in a ''SQLite''
  database; this database is initially created by the standalone ''mega2'' C++ program
  (available freely from <https://watson.hgen.pitt.edu/register/>). Loads and manipulates
  data frames containing genotype, phenotype, and family information from the input
  ''SQLite'' database, and decompresses needed subsets of the genotype data, on the
  fly, in a memory efficient manner. We have also created several more functions that
  illustrate how to use the data frames as well as perform useful tasks: these permit
  one to run the ''pedgene'' package to carry out gene-based association tests on
  family data using selected marker subsets, to run the ''SKAT'' package to carry
  out gene-based association tests using selected marker subsets, to run the ''famSKATRC''
  package to carry out gene-based association tests on families (optionally) and with
  rare or common variants using selected marker subsets, to output the ''Mega2R''
  data as a VCF file and related files (for phenotype and family data), and to convert
  the data frames into CoreArray Genomic Data Structure (GDS) format.'
