This is a development fork of the gftools library. The repository at
http://gftools.sourceforge.net/ is no longer maintained by the author.

Installation:

Gftools requires the Plink software package.
See http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/

Gftools is required for The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) 
genotyping pipeline, including the standalone gender check.

The version of the Illuminus genotype caller used at WTSI depends on gftools.
