Simulate genotypes for SNPs, considering MAF and LD structure

Hi all,

I want to simulate genotypes of several SNPs for 10,000 samples.

A Bernoulli sampling is applied to generate SNP genotypes (0/0, 0/1, 1/1) for random samples.

However, this will not consier the LD structure among thse SNPs, which was obtained from 1KG dataset.

Is there any tools of Github project that I can apply to simulate these SNPs' genotypes?

Best,

Junfeng

Simple bi-allelic SNPs without structure: PLINK

Coalescent approaches: GENOME

Forward-time approaches: MetaSim and simuPop

Resampling approaches: Hapgen2

No need to repeat the answer, just add a link as a comment. (as I just did, see above)
