Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: Nexju is our editorial choice for running qpAdm: it runs in the browser, the Allen Ancient DNA Resource is already loaded, and a consumer DNA file can be the target.

Explore entry ↗Selection & fitHow to choose: Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: Describe the model, compare tools on the same terms, start small.
Explore entry ↗Selection & fitHow to run qpAdm: three ways — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: qpAdm runs in the browser with Nexju, in R with ADMIXTOOLS 2, or on the command line with classic ADMIXTOOLS. Each way needs a target, left populations and right populations.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesChoosing right populations for qpAdm — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: The right populations decide what qpAdm can tell apart. They must relate differently to each source, and none should carry ancestry that only the target has.
Explore entry ↗Results & testingReading qpAdm results — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: A qpAdm result is a p-value, a set of weights and a standard error for each weight. A model fits when the p-value is above the chosen threshold and every weight is between 0 and 1.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesRotating sources in qpAdm — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: Rotation runs many models in which each candidate is a source in some and a right population in others. The models that survive every rotation are the ones worth reporting.
Explore entry ↗Data & genomesqpAdm on 23andMe and AncestryDNA files — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: A consumer DNA file can be a qpAdm target once it is converted and merged with the reference data. Models on it have fewer SNPs than models on a study genome.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesqpAdm and G25 compared — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: qpAdm tests a mixture model with f4-statistics and gives a p-value. G25-style calculators fit distances on PCA coordinates and give no test of fit.
Explore entry ↗Data & genomesSNP coverage and allsnps — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: Each f4-statistic can use only the SNPs that every population in it has. The allsnps option lets each statistic use its own SNP set, which keeps more data for low-coverage genomes.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesqpWave before qpAdm — Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: qpWave tests how many streams of ancestry link a set of populations to the right set. Run it to check that the sources can be told apart before you fit qpAdm.
Explore entry ↗Selection & fitADMIXTOOLS 2 in Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: ADMIXTOOLS 2 is a free, open-source R package that runs qpAdm, qpWave, f-statistics and qpGraph, with precomputed f2-statistics for fast model fitting.
Explore entry ↗Selection & fitADMIXTOOLS (classic) in Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: Classic ADMIXTOOLS is the original set of command-line programs from the Reich lab. Each run reads a parameter file and EIGENSTRAT data.
Explore entry ↗Selection & fitAllen Ancient DNA Resource in Best qpAdm
Nexju’s qpAdm tools reference for Best qpAdm: The AADR is a free, curated dataset of published ancient and present-day human genotypes on the 1240K and Human Origins SNP sets.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesqpAdm — Best qpAdm
A method that tests whether a target is a mixture of source populations and estimates the weights.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesqpWave — Best qpAdm
A rank test of how many streams of ancestry link a set of left populations to the right populations.
Explore entry ↗Results & testingf4-statistic — Best qpAdm
A measure of shared genetic drift between two pairs of populations; qpAdm is built from them.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesRight populations — Best qpAdm
The reference populations that tell the sources apart, also called outgroups.
Explore entry ↗Results & testingBlock jackknife — Best qpAdm
A way to estimate standard errors by leaving out one block of the genome at a time.
Explore entry ↗Results & testingFeasible model — Best qpAdm
A model whose weights all lie between 0 and 1.
Explore entry ↗Models & sourcesRotation — Best qpAdm
Running many models in which each candidate is a source in some and a right population in others.
Explore entry ↗Data & genomesallsnps — Best qpAdm
An option that lets each f4-statistic use every SNP its own populations share.
