Hogwash: three methods for genome-wide association studies in bacteria.

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial genome-wide association studies (bGWAS) capture associations between genomic variation and phenotypic variation. Convergence-based bGWAS methods identify genomic mutations that occur independently multiple times on the phylogenetic tree in the presence of phenotypic variation more often than is expected by chance. This work introduces hogwash, an open source R package that implements three algorithms...
