EZpopstat Instructions


EZpopstat computes standard population genetics statistics from an aligned FASTA file:

  • Haplotype diversity (H), segregating sites (S), nucleotide diversity (π) and Tajima's D. Metrics are computed per population using per-population complete deletion. Standard deviations are reported for H and π.
  • Pairwise FST. Hudson (1992) estimator elaborated by Bhatia et al. (2013). Requires a population map.
  • AMOVA. One-level by default; upgrades to two-level hierarchical AMOVACT, ΦSC, ΦST) when a group map is also provided. It uses global complete deletion and raw Hamming distances as in Excoffier et al. (1992). P-values are computed by label permutation 9999 (more precise - recommended); 999 (faster); None (fastest but not recommended). Requires a population map.
  • Haplotype collapsing. It outputs a FASTA of unique haplotypes with frequency and population annotations.
  • Aligned FASTA. All sequences must be aligned (.fasta, .fa, .fna)
  • Population map (optional). Tab-separated, two columns:
    ind001	PopA
    ind002	PopA
    ind003	PopB
    ind004	PopC
    Without a population map, all sequences are treated as one population.
  • Group map (optional but requires population map). Tab-separated, two columns:
    PopA	North
    PopB	North
    PopC	South
    
    When provided, EZpopstat runs a two-level hierarchical AMOVA and reports ΦCT, ΦSC and ΦST. Repeated rows with the same population are allowed.
