ADMIXTOOLS (or AdmixTools) is a software package that is primarily used for analyzing admixture in population genetics. The original version was developed as a set of standalone C programs by Nick Patterson and colleagues and published in 2012. [1] [2] A reimplemented version, ADMIXTOOLS 2, was developed as an R package by Robert Maier and colleagues and published in 2023. [3] [4]
Most ADMIXTOOLS programs are based on fitting demographic models to f-statistics, which are calculated from population allele frequencies. [5]
qpGraph is a software program that is part of the ADMIXTOOLS [2] software package developed by Patterson et al. (2012). qpGraph evaluates graph-based models of population relationships with genetic admixture. [1] It estimates likelihoods of graphs with a fixed topology, [6] [7] while adjusting graph parameters to fit observed f-statistics. [8]
ADMIXTOOLS 2 adds functionality for finding optimized graph topologies, similar to programs like Treemix. [9]
Related statistical tools in the ADMIXTOOLS software package include qpAdm, [10] qpDstat, and qpWave. [11] qpDstat and qpWave test whether populations form clades, while qpAdm estimates ancestry proportions. [4] qpAdm is often used in conjunction with CP/NNLS. [12] [13]
