Plot Ld In R As In Haploview

Dear all,

I am trying to find a R package to plot LD blocks.

I found LDheatmap package but I would prefer a graphical representation as in haploview with LD blocks, and options to add lines or select markers on the graph.

Thank you for your help.

Steven

If you are particular about an R package, I would like to suggest snp.plotter package. See snp.plotter reference manual here.

Example plot from snp.plotter:

In addition, I would like to suggest LocusZoom or SNAP for visualization of LD blocks.

There is a web-interface and standalone package available for LocusZoom.

Example figure using LocusZoom:

Example figure using SNAP:

Manuscript describing snp.plotter here, LocusZoom here and SNAP here.
