pooledpeaks is designed for analyzing genetic data obtained from Fragment Analysis output files (.fsa) of pooled biological samples. It provides functions for a comprehensive analysis pipeline from processing .fsa files, to cleaning the peak data, and conducting population genetic analyses. Some features are listed below and a usage example of the entire pipeline is included as a vignette. Please check out the Contributing Guidelines for information on how to add to this package.
- Peak Scoring: Process .fsa files and score peaks contained therein.
- Data Manipulation: Clean and prepare peak data for downstream analyses.
- Population Genetics Analysis:
- Calculate Gene Identity Matrix and Genetic Distance Matrix
- Calculate diversity indices
- Calculate differentiation indices
- Perform cluster analysis
- Visualization: Visualize the peak scoring and genetic analysis results.
The pooledpeaks package was developed by the Blanton Lab as part of Kathleen Kuesters' dissertation.
