Genetic diversity metrics from popoulation genomic datasets.

Project description

Pypgen provides various utilities for estimating standard genetic diversity measures including Gst, G’st, G’’st, and Jost’s D from large genomic datasets (Hedrick, 2005; Jost, 2008; Masatoshi Nei, 1973; Nei & Chesser, 1983). Pypgen operates both on individual SNPs as well as on user defined regions (e.g., five kilobase windows tiled across each chromosome). For the windowed analyses pypgen estimates the multi-locus versions of each estimator.

Features:

  • Handles multiallelic SNP calls

  • Allows a single VCF file to contain multiple populations

  • Operates on standard VCF (Variant Call Format) formatted SNP calls

  • Uses bgziped input for fast random access

  • Takes advantage of multiple processor cores

  • Calculates additional metrics:

    • snp count per window

    • mean read depth (+/- STDEV) per window

    • populations with fixed alleles per SNP

    • more as I think of them

Important Note:

PYPGEN IS STILL IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND ALMOST CERTAINLY CONTAINS BUGS. If you find a bug please file a report in the issues section of the github repository and I’ll address it as soon as I can.

Enclosed Scripts:

  • Sliding window analysis (vcf_sliding_window.py)

  • Per SNP analysis (vcf_snpwise_fstats.py)

Dependancies:

Installation:

First install samtools. On OS X I recommend using homebrew to do this. Once you have samtools installed and available in terminal you can use either pip or setuptools to install the current release of pypgen:

pip install pypgen

or,

easy_install pypgen

Alternately, if you like to live on the edge, you can clone and install the current development version from github.

pip install -e git+https://github.com/ngcrawford/pypgen.git

Documentation:

More detailed documentation will be forthcoming, but in the meantime information about each script can be obtained by running:

python [script name].py --help

Output:

Note: this will probably change.
