High Resolution Ancestry Deconvolution for Next Generation Genomic Data - G-Nomix
The forward-backward result output is a tab separated file with the name <output basename>.fb.tsv
The first line is a comment line, that specifies the order of subpopulations: eg:
#reference_panel_population: golden_retriever labrador_retriever poodle poodle_small
The second line specifies the column names, and every following lines gives data on a chunk of the genome, called a conditional random field (CRF) point.
The first four columns specify the chromosome, genetic marker's physical position in basepair units and genetic position in centiMorgans, and the genetic marker's numerical index in the rfmix genetic map input file. The remaining columns give the probabilities that the CRF point for a genotype's haplotype was assigned to a specific reference panel population. A genotype has two haplotypes, so the number of probabilities for a genotype is 2*(number of reference panel populations). The number of columns in the file is 4 + (number of genotypes) * 2 * (number of reference panel populations.
The quick way:
autoreconf --force --install # creates the configure script and all its dependencies
./configure # generates the Makefile
makeThe long way (in case the quick way gives any trouble):
aclocal # creates aclocal.m4
autoheader # creates config.h.in
autoconf # creates configure
automake --add-missing # creates Makefile.in
./configure # generates the Makefile
makeThis will build rfmix and simulate.
