Greetings,
I'm happy to announce new Python versions of FaST-LMM, PySnpTools, and Bed-Reader. These new versions keep the packages up-to-date with NumPy, etc. (If you haven't seen an issue, there is no need to upgrade.)
We use the Rust language to make these Python packages faster. If you are interested in Rust for scientific software, please see:
