*.fibd....@Qinsi<br /><br />fastIBD outputs a file ending in <br /><br />*.fibd.gz<br /><br />This file contains shared segments between individuals. Gunzip it, and you'll see that each line has five elements:<br /><br />IDs of the two individuals<br />beginning and end marker index<br />probability<br /><br />This is explained in the Beagle manual.<br /><br />What you need to do is for each line to calculate the length of the segment by substracting the genetic positions (in bp): end-beginning. If there is a recombination map for whatever species you are dealing with, then you can do the subtraction in cM instead.<br /><br />You then have an NxN matrix which you initialize with 0, and whenever the i-th individual shares a segment with the j-th individual, you add the length of the segment to the (i, j) entry. In the end, you get a matrix of sharing between different individuals. If you subtract this from its maximum value, then you get a matrix of not-sharing, which can be used as a distance matrix.Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-90913614566173992282012-04-06T11:17:33.830+03:002012-04-06T11:17:33.830+03:00Hi,I'm a new to this area.

Color me skeptical regarding the micro-clusters in places where populations that been stable so long that cryptic relatedness is a serious problem. <br /><br />I'd be interested to see how the analysis would change if only one individual from each two or three person microcluster were included and the data were re-run (alternately, perhaps one could set a minimum cluster size of three or four).Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-72027872538054759282012-01-12T12:24:13.572+02:002012-01-12T12:24:13.572+02:00I was particularly struck by how the English clust...<i>I was particularly struck by how the English cluster with the Dutch. In the fastIBD version all 12 English cluster with 5 of 9 Dutch, while 3 of the other 4 Dutch cluster with Germans and 1 with Norwegians and Swedes. By comparison, only 2 of 22 Irish cluster with the English; only 1 of 33 Cornish, none of the 4 Argyll (in western Scotland) and none of the Orcadian cluster with the English. In contrast the Russian_D, Polish and Ukrainian and other Slavs all cluster together even though they separated at the brink of recorded history.</i><br /><br />Neither the inclusion of different populations in a single cluster (as is the case for Slavs), nor the assignment of individuals from a single population to multiple clusters (as is the case for the Dutch) has a simple interpretation.<br /><br />In the latter case, it could be an artifact of the small size of Dutch_D. Clusters are formed when populations are distinctive relative to other included populations, and when they have enough individuals to make this distinction apparent.<br /><br />In the former case, differences between Slavs may emerge with e.g., higher sample sizes, or higher number of clusters (after all, Mclust chooses the number of clusters via BIC which balances fit with parsimony, so it's conservative), etc. <br /><br />It should also be noted that if two populations belong to the same cluster, this does not mean that there are no differences between them. Rather it means that in the context of the included populations there are no major "gaps" in the distribution of individuals.<br /><br />By sampling more individuals, one usually "fills in the gaps" of the genetic map: this has a detrimental effect on the ability to infer clusters. At the same time, one "raises the peaks" of the mountains of the genetic landscape. <br /><br />Clusters becomes apparent when the "mountains" of the genetic landscape (i.e. blobs of similar individuals) dominate the valleys of transitions between groups.Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-79756435362559863322012-01-12T10:51:27.026+02:002012-01-12T10:51:27.026+02:00Thank you for your help Dienekes.
