Convert data from ANCESTRYMAP format to ADMIXMAP format

C++ program

anc2adm.zip: Windows (45kb), Linux (30kb) or source (14kb)

Instructions are built in.

PERL Script (right-click on link and choose "Save Link As")

ANCtoADM.pl (Thanks to Arti Tandon)

Convert data from ADMIXMAP format to ANCESTRYMAP format

C++ program

adm2anc.zip: Windows (45kb), Linux (29kb) or source (14kb)

Instructions are built in. Header fields should be delimited by double quotes. Converting the locus file and allele freqs file may require a separate run of the program (skipping conversion of genotypes file).

Convert data from STRUCTURE format to ADMIXMAP format

PERL script (right-click on link and choose "Save Link As") to create an ADMIXMAP genotypes file. (Thanks to Indrani Halder)

STRtoADM.pl sample inputfile

Run as : "perl STRtoADM.pl <inputfile> [<genotypesfile>]". The genotypesfile name is optional and defaults to "genotypes.txt".

Note that you will also need to create a locusfile in order to use ADMIXMAP.

Simulating data from an admixed population in ADMIXMAP format

R script

SimAdmixture.R
