tajimas-d 1.0.0

Compute the Tajimas-D, Pi-Estimator or Watterson-Estimator for multiple sequences.

Compute the Tajima's-D, Pi-Estimator or Watterson-Estimator for multiple sequences.

Tajima's D is a population genetic test statistic created which computes the difference between the mean number of pairwise differences and the number of segregating sites. It is used to determine if a population is expanding or shrinking.

Tajima's D

Tajima's D is defined as follows:

Pi-Estimator

The π estimator is the average number of pairwise differences between any two sequences:

Watterson-Estimator

The Watterson estimator is the expected number of segregating sites.

Installation

Using pip / pip3:

pip install tajimas_d

Or by source:

git clone [e-mail]:not-a-feature/tajimas_d.git
cd tajimas_d
pip install .

How to use

from tajimas_d import tajimas_d, watterson_estimator, pi_estimator

sequences = ["AAAA", "AAAT", "AAGT", "AAGT"]

theta_tajima = tajimas_d(sequences)
theta_pi = pi_estimator(sequences)
theta_w = watterson_estimator(sequences)

Standalone version

Clone the repository and cd into it. Intall the requirements (miniFasta > 2.2, for fasta reading).

usage: tajimas-d.py [-h] -f PATH [-p] [-t] [-w]

tajimas-d: Compute the Tajima s-D, Pi-Estimator or Watterson-Estimator for multiple
sequences.

optional arguments:
