Filters

In most analysis you are only interested in a subset of sites and not all sites. Currently we have the following filter options.

-minMaf float

only work with sites with a maf above 'float'

-minKeepInd int

only work with sites with information from atleast int individiduals

-minLRT float

only work with sits with an LRT>float

First we do a run with no filters

./angsd  -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1:
...
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	nInd
1	13999919	A	C	0.000008	1
1	13999920	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999921	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999922	C	A	0.000008	1
1	13999923	A	C	0.000008	1
1	13999924	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999925	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999926	A	C	0.000008	1
1	13999927	G	A	0.000008	1

Now we do a filter with MAF cutoff of 1\%

../angsd0.3/angsd -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1: -minMaf 0.01
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	nInd
1	13999950	T	G	0.495291	2
1	14000019	G	T	0.047247	9
1	14000056	C	T	0.055851	10
1	14000127	G	T	0.060760	10
1	14000170	C	T	0.052388	9
1	14000176	G	A	0.047928	10
1	14000202	G	A	0.279722	9
1	14000262	C	T	0.058555	9
1	14000322	A	G	0.040471	8

Similar if we only want sites with information for atleast 5 samples

../angsd0.3/angsd -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1: -minKeepInd 5
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	nInd
1	13999971	T	A	0.000007	6
1	13999972	G	A	0.000007	6
1	13999973	C	A	0.000005	5
1	13999974	G	A	0.000006	6
1	13999975	C	A	0.000002	5
1	13999976	C	A	0.000004	7
1	13999977	A	C	0.000005	8
1	13999978	C	A	0.000005	8
1	13999979	T	A	0.000005	8

If we are interested in all sites with a p-value of 10^(-6) of being variable

../angsd0.3/angsd -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1: -minLRT 24 -doSNP 1 
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	pK-EM	nInd
1	14000202	G	A	0.279722	42.623150	9
1	14000873	G	A	0.212120	79.118476	10
1	14001018	T	C	0.333736	89.040311	8
1	14001867	A	G	0.200232	47.195423	10
1	14002422	A	T	0.167692	43.196259	9
