Fst

Our program can estimate fst between populations. And has been generalized to give all pairwise fst estimates if you supply the command with multiple populations.

if you supply 3 populations, the program will also output the pbs statistic.

NB we have removed the very unusefull unweighted fst estimator in the output, and have included a header. The output example below will be updated at some point.

The procedure is

- Use angsd for calculating saf files for each population

- Use realSFS to calculate 2d sfs for each pair

- Use the above calculated 2dsfs as priors jointly with all safs from step1 to calculate fst binary files

- Use realSFS to extract the the fst values from the fst

NB; In the latest github version there is a different fst estimator which should be preferable for small sample sizes. Feel free to try that out with

./realSFS fst index [saf.idx's] -whichFst 1

Two Populations real data

#this is with 2pops
#first calculate per pop saf for each populatoin
../angsd -b list1  -anc hg19ancNoChr.fa -out pop1 -dosaf 1 -gl 1
../angsd -b list2  -anc hg19ancNoChr.fa -out pop2 -dosaf 1 -gl 1
#calculate the 2dsfs prior
../misc/realSFS pop1.saf.idx pop2.saf.idx >pop1.pop2.ml
#prepare the fst for easy window analysis etc
../misc/realSFS fst index pop1.saf.idx pop2.saf.idx -sfs pop1.pop2.ml -fstout here
#get the global estimate
../misc/realSFS fst stats here.fst.idx

#below is not tested that much, but seems to work

3 Populations real data

In commands below im using 24 threads, because this is what I have. Adjust accordingly

#this is with 2pops
#first calculate per pop saf for each populatoin
./angsd -b list10  -anc hg19ancNoChr.fa -out pop1 -dosaf 1 -gl 1
./angsd -b list11  -anc hg19ancNoChr.fa -out pop2 -dosaf 1 -gl 1
./angsd -b list12  -anc hg19ancNoChr.fa -out pop3 -dosaf 1 -gl 1
#calculate all pairwise 2dsfs's
./misc/realSFS pop1.saf.idx pop2.saf.idx -P 24 >pop1.pop2.ml
./misc/realSFS pop1.saf.idx pop3.saf.idx -P 24 >pop1.pop3.ml
./misc/realSFS pop2.saf.idx pop3.saf.idx -P 24 >pop2.pop3.ml
#prepare the fst for easy analysis etc
./misc/realSFS fst index pop1.saf.idx pop2.saf.idx pop3.saf.idx -sfs pop1.pop2.ml -sfs pop1.pop3.ml -sfs pop2.pop3.ml -fstout here
#get the global estimate

#below is not tested that much, but seems to work
../misc/realSFS fst stats2 here.fst.idx -win 50000 -step 10000 >slidingwindow

In the presence of 3 populations, the program will also calculate the population branch statistics

Sliding Window output

The sliding window seems to work so we have documented it here:

Second column is chromosome, third is center of window followed by

fst.unweight(pop1,pop2) fst.weight(pop1,pop2) fst.unweight(pop1,pop3) fst.weight(pop1,pop3) fst.unweight(pop2,pop3) fst.weight(pop2,pop3)

The last 3 columns are the populations branch statistic for population1, popultion2 and population3

Relative window positions?

We allow for 3 different ways of defining window positions, these are chosen with the -type argument in realSFS

-type 2 Use pos=1 as the leftmost position of first window. Even though there isn't any data.

-type 1 Use first position with data, as leftmost position for the first window.

-type 0 Split out the genome into blocks. And use the first window that have data for the entire window. Then we will have the same windowcenters across datasets.

realSFS fst print

You can print out the precalculated A and B with

./realSFS fst print pop1.pop2.fst.idx

Assuming we have pop1.saf.idx, pop2.saf.idx.

./realSFS pop1.saf.idx pop2.saf.idx >pop1.pop2.saf.idx.ml
./realSFS fst index pop1.saf.idx pop2.saf.idx -fstout pop1.pop2 -sfs pop1.pop2.saf.idx.ml
./realSFS fst print pop1.pop2.fst.idx

The weighted fst for a region is the ratio between the sum of As and the sum of B. The unweighted is the mean of the persite ratios.

A is the alpha from the reynolds 1983 (or Bhatia) and B is the alpha + beta.
