17 mar 2021 · A distance matrix has to satisfy additional properties in order to correspond to some weighted tree. In fact, there are two models that assume special constraints on the distance matrix: Ultrametric: For all triplets (a, b, c) of leaves, two pairs among them have equal distance, and the third distance is smaller; i.e. the triplet can be ...

This chapter introduces some of the methodologies used in estimating genetic distances, how we analyze them, and how we portray our results in a graphical fashion amenable for interpretation. Underlying most estimates of genetic distance are sets of geometric and/or evolutionary assumptions.
A genetic map shows the map distance, in cM, that separates any two loci, and the position of these loci relative to all other mapped loci. The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e., the amount of DNA between two loci.
1 cze 2022 · With an average read depth of 1, ngsDist overestimates genetic distance d when a relatively small true d is simulated (35-fold difference when true d = 0.01 ). This is due to ngsDist averaging over the posterior genotype distribution when calculating genetic distances (eq. 2 in Vieira et al. 2015). Averaging over the posterior leads to ...
16 paź 2009 · Principal components analysis, PCA, is a statistical method commonly used in population genetics to identify structure in the distribution of genetic variation across geographical location and ethnic background.
5 cze 2012 · One of the first steps in the analysis of aligned nucleotide or amino acid sequences typically is the computation of the matrix of genetic distances (or evolutionary distances) between all pairs of sequences. In the present chapter we discuss two questions that arise in this context.
