ukbflow: Streamlined Workflow for UK Biobank Data Extraction, Analysis, and Visualization

Provides a streamlined workflow for UK Biobank cloud-based analysis on the Research Analysis Platform (RAP). Includes tools for phenotype extraction and decoding, variable derivation, survival and association analysis, genetic risk score computation, and publication-quality visualization. For details on the UK Biobank resource, see Bycroft et al. (2018) <doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0579-z>.
