admixturegraph: an R package for admixture graph manipulation and fitting

摘要

The Summary: Admixture graphs generalize phylogenetic trees by allowing genetic lineages to merge as well as split. In this paper we present the R package admixturegraph containing tools for building and visualizing admixture graphs, for fitting graph parameters to genetic data, for visualizing goodness of fit and for evaluating the relative goodness of fit between different graphs.
