HybridCheck is an R package that is intended to make it quick, simple and easy to script analyses scanning for recombination signal between haplotype sequences.
It can plot such scans:
It also allows you to compute ABBA BABA tests for gene flow and some variants of the ABBA BABA test.
Installing HybridCheck from GitHub is easy if you have "devtools" installed. If you don't have devtools, fear not, it is easy to acquire.
install.packages("devtools")
Once you have devtools, you can use the install_github
function to grab and
install HybridCheck.
devtools::install_github("vanOosterhoutLab/HybridCheck", build_vignettes = TRUE)
HybridCheck comes with a user manual vignette, that you can access from an R session.
Enter:
vignette("HybridCheck-manual")
and hit return. A new window should pop up with the manual inside. It will guide you through loading your sequence data and running an analysis.
The documentation of each HybridCheck class and method/function can be viewed from within R by typing:
?function_name_here
in the R console.
An example sequence alignment of 10 sequences as a DNAbin object is available in the package to use to test HybridCheck functionality. For more details, see the user manual.
