This package provides an association test that is capable
of dealing with very rare and even private variants. This is
accomplished by a kernel-based approach that takes the
positions of the variants into account. The test can be used
for pre-processed matrix data, but also directly for variant
data stored in VCF files. Association testing can be performed
whole-genome, whole-exome, or restricted to pre-defined regions
of interest. The test is complemented by tools for analyzing
and visualizing the results.
