ADMIXTOOLS
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. A reimplemented version, ADMIXTOOLS 2, was developed as an R package by Robert Maier and colleagues and published in 2023.
Most ADMIXTOOLS programs are based on fitting demographic models to f-statistics, which are calculated from population allele frequencies.
qpGraph
qpGraph is a software program that is part of the ADMIXTOOLS software package developed by Patterson et al.. qpGraph evaluates graph-based models of population relationships with genetic admixture. It estimates likelihoods of graphs with a fixed topology, while adjusting graph parameters to fit observed f-statistics.ADMIXTOOLS 2 adds functionality for finding optimized graph topologies, similar to programs like Treemix and OrientAGraph.
