The current Beagle release is version 4.1. Version 4.1 has a more accurate genotype phasing method and a much faster genotype imputation method. If your data contains nuclear families and you want to model the parent-offspring relationships when phasing genotypes, then you should use version 4.0 which can be downloaded from this web page.
Beagle version 4.0 performs genotype calling, genotype phasing, imputation of ungenotyped markers, and identity-by-descent segment detection.
Version 4.0 includes several new features:
If you use Beagle 4.0 in a published analysis, please report the program version and cite the following article:
