Abbababa

Available from version 0.559+.

Performs the abbababa test also called the D-statistic. This tests for ancient admixture (or wrong tree topology). As all methods in ANGSD we require that the header of the BAM files are the same.

Method

Brief Overview

> ./angsd -doAbbababa

--------------
analysisAbbababa.cpp:
	-doAbbababa		0	run the abbababa analysis
	-rmTrans		0	remove transitions
	-blockSize		5000000	size of each block in bases
	-ans			(null)	fasta file with outgroup

This function will counts the number of ABBA and BABA sites

Options

-doAbbababa 1

sample a random base at each position.

-rmTrans

Remove transitions (important for ancient DNA)

-blockSize [INT]

Size of each block. Choose a number that is higher than the LD in the populations. For human 5Mb (5000000) is usually used.

-anc [fileName.fa]

Include an outgroup in fasta format.

-doCounts 1

use -doCounts 1 in order to count the bases at each sites after filters.

In order to do fancy filtering of bases based on quality scores see the Allele counts options.

Output

• .abbbababa

Output: Each lines represents a block with a chromsome name (Column 1), a start position (Column 2), an end postion (Column 3). The new columns are the counts of ABBA and BABA sites. For each combination of 3 individuals (H1,H2,H3) two columns are printed. These number served as input to the R script called jackKnife.R

Example

Create a fasta file bases from a random samples of bases.

head -n5 bam.filelist > smallBam.filelist
./angsd -out out -doAbbababa 1 -bam smallBam.filelist -doCounts 1 -anc chimpHG19.fa
Rscript R/jackKnife.R file=out.abbababa indNames=smallBam.filelist outfile=out

This results in a out.txt file with all the results.

H1 H2 H3 are the 3 individuals in the tree that are not the outgroup. H1 and H2 are the ingroup (see figure of tree above)

nABBA the total counts of ABBA patterns

nBABA the total counts of BABA patterns

Dstat The test statistic: (nABBA-nBABA)/(nABBA+nBABA). A negative value means that H1 is closer to H3 than H2 is. A positive value means that H2 is closer to H3 than H1 is.

JackEst column is another estimate of the abbababa statistic that is bias corrected. This value is extremely similar to the value in the Dstat column

SE is the estimated m-delete blocked Jackknife Standard error of the estimate used to obtain the Z value

Z Z value that can be used to determine the significance of the test. As in Reich et al. an absolute value of the Z score above 3 is often used as a critical value. However, this note that this does not take into account the fact that we perform multiple tests.
