Why varbvs doesn't accept datasets with missing genotype? #30

Why can't this software handle missing data? If it is a Bayesian model then this is not supposed to be a problem because data are just parameters. But the current implementation is not accepting X matrices with NA values.

What proportion of the matrix entries are NAs? If it is not large, there are methods in R to impute the missing values.
