GENHET: an easy-to-use R function to estimate individual heterozygosity

genhet is an R function which calculates the five most used estimates of individual heterozygosity. The advantage of this program is that it can be applied to any diploid genotype dataset, without any limitation in the number of individuals, loci or alleles. Its detailed manual should allow people who have never used R before to make the function work quite easily. The program is freely available at http://www.aureliecoulon.net/research/ac-computer-programs.html.
