[adegenet-forum] Retrieving population allele frequencies of SNPs using HGDP file

[Davide Piffer]

Dear Thibaut,

thanks for answering my question. I will try to reformulate my question
differently, stating the assumptions:
1)  I assume that the eHGDP object was made into a genpop object from some
raw .txt file, like the HGDP file I linked to in the previous email.
2) I need an object that looks exactly like the eHGDP object, but with SNPs
instead of microsatellite alleles.
3) Since it's gonna be a rather complex task, I asked if any of you knows
if someone has already done this job before and published it (e.g. as
supplementary file).
4) Otherwise, I would like to know how to produce such a file myself,
starting from a version of the HGDP file with population information. If
this was done for microsatellites, surely it can be done for the SNPs as
well? I assume they rely on the same raw HGDP file.

Many thanks!

Davide
