[adegenet-forum] Per locus pairwise Fst

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Hi there,

yes, this function is not optimized for large datasets. You can use the same approach but using functions from the hierfstat package. 

Cheers

Subject: Re: [adegenet-forum] Per locus pairwise Fst

I am revisiting this topic due to some technical problems.

The task at hand is to estimate pairwise Fst matrices for each locus separately.

# Genind object is stored in:
gen100_genind

# Use seploc to separate loci:
gen100_seploc <- seploc(gen100_genind, truenames=TRUE, res.type=c('genind', 'matrix')

# Calculate pairwise Fst:
gen100_perLocusPWFst <- lapply(gen100_seploc, pairwise.fst, res.type=c('dist', 'matrix'), trunames=TRUE)

For a data set consisting of 30 populations, 20 individuals each, 1000 loci and 2 alleles per locus (1.2 million data points), it takes up to 6 hours to estimate the pairwise Fst matrix with this method.

Is there any way to speed this up?  Should I look into any other packages?

Many thanks for your time and help.
Vikram

Hi there,

you can use seploc to separate loci, and lapply over the resulting list using your prefered fst function.

Good morning.

I would like to estimate per locus pairwise Fst for populations, but it appears that Adegenet only estimates this over all loci (i.e. single matrix).  What I would like is one matrix per locus.  Has anyone modified the functions or know of alternative programs that can do this?

Thanks
Vikram
