This page contains a short description of the overall structure of angsd.

It can be divided into:

  1. Filereading
  2. Analysis

Input formats

We allow for many different input formats, many of these are deprecated and have little use, but we have decided to keep these.

  1. BAM files
  2. soap alignment files
  3. Beagle files
  4. glfv3 (Binary and text)

History

Angsd started back in 2009 as a simple program for estimating allele frequency, based on this we incrementally added new functionality. A rough timeline can be found in the AUTHORS file in the program bundle
