BlockFeST: Bayesian calculation of region-specific FST to detect local adaptation.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) - 15 Sept 2018

Pfeifer Bastian, Lercher Martin J

Abstract excerpt

Summary: The fixation index FST can be used to identify non-neutrally evolving loci from genome-scale SNP data across two or more populations. Recent years have seen the development of sophisticated approaches to estimate FST based on Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo simulations. Here, we present a vectorized R implementation of an extension of the widely used BayeScan software for codominant markers, adding the option...
