abstract: LEA is an R package dedicated to population genomics, landscape genomics
  and genotype-environment association tests. LEA can run analyses of population structure
  and genome-wide tests for local adaptation, and also performs imputation of missing
  genotypes. The package includes statistical methods for estimating ancestry coefficients
  from large genotypic matrices and for evaluating the number of ancestral populations
  (snmf). It performs statistical tests using latent factor mixed models for identifying
  genetic polymorphisms that exhibit association with environmental gradients or phenotypic
  traits (lfmm2). In addition, LEA computes values of genetic offset statistics based
  on new or predicted environments (genetic.gap, genetic.offset). LEA is mainly based
  on optimized programs that can scale with the dimensions of large data sets.
