This package addresses the management of map-reduce like computations for cis-association tests between DNA variants and genomic features like gene expression measurements. It makes essential use of data structures defined in package gQTLBase.

A number of experimental functions are present in the current version of the package: prep.cisAssocNB (assembles information to assess negative binomial regression in cis association testing), storeToMaxAssocBySNP (progress towards SNP-specific FDR), table_sensobj_thresh (reporting on sensitivity analysis).

Additional experimental functions are available to support scalable trans-gQTL testing TransChunk, filteredDFwPerm, and transTable operate on output of AllAssoc.
