Popis
Shrnutí:Due to its cost effectiveness, next generation sequencing of pools of individuals (Pool‐Seq) is becoming a popular strategy for genome‐wide estimation of allele frequencies in population samples. As the allele frequency spectrum provides information about past episodes of selection, Pool‐seq is also a promising design for genomic scans for selection. However, no software tool has yet been developed for selection scans based on Pool‐Seq data. We introduce Pool‐hmm, a Python program for the estimation of allele frequencies and the detection of selective sweeps in a Pool‐Seq sample. Pool‐hmm includes several options that allow a flexible analysis of Pool‐Seq data, and can be run in parallel on several processors. Source code and documentation for Pool‐hmm is freely available at https://qgsp.jouy.inra.fr/.
