Routines for reading compressed storage of genotyped or imputed markers

[*Genome-wide association studies (GWAS)*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study) data with imputed markers are often saved in the [**BGEN format**](https://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~gav/bgen_format/) or `.bgen` file.

It can store both hard calls and imputed data, unphased genotypes and phased haplotypes. Each variant is compressed separately to make indexing simple. An index file (`.bgen.bgi`) may be provided to access each variant easily. [UK Biobank](https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/) uses this format for genome-wide imputed genotypes.

## Installation

This package requires Julia v1.0 or later, which can be obtained from

https://julialang.org/downloads/ or by building Julia from the sources in the

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia repository.

This package is registered in the default Julia package registry, and can be installed through standard package installation procedure: e.g., running the following code in Julia REPL.

```julia

using Pkg

pkg"add BGEN"

```
