rehh (version 2.0.4)

scan_hh: Computing EHH based statistics over a whole chromosome

Description

Compute Extended Haplotype Homozygosity (EHH), site-specific EHH (EHHS), integrated EHH (iHH) and integrated EHHS (iES) for all SNPs of a chromosome (or linkage group).

Usage

scan_hh(haplohh, limhaplo = 2, limehh = 0.05, limehhs = 0.05,
        scalegap = NA, maxgap = NA, 
        discard_integration_at_border = TRUE, threads = 1)

Arguments

haplohh

An object of class haplohh (see data2haplohh).

limhaplo

Minimal number of haplotypes to continue computing EHH away from the core SNP. Useless, if no missing data. However, when some data are missing, haplotypes with missing data are removed from the computation. Hence as we compute EHH further from the core SNP, less haplotypes are expected

limehh

Limit at which EHH stops to be evaluated

limehhs

Limit at which EHHS stops to be evaluated

scalegap

Scales gaps larger than the specified size to the specified size (default=NA, i.e. no scaling)

maxgap

Maximum allowed gap in bp between two SNPs below which EHH and EHHS stop to be evaluated (default=NA, i.e., no limitation)

discard_integration_at_border

If TRUE and if first or last marker or a gap (larger than maxgap) is reached and EHH(S) is greater than limehh(s), then iHH/IES is set to NA

threads

Number of threads to parallelize compuation

Value

The returned value is a dataframe with haplohh@nsnps rows and seven columns (Chromosome name, position of the SNP, Frequency of the ancestral allele, iHH for the ancestral allele, iHH for the derived allele, iES using the estimator by Sabeti et al. (2007) estimator and iES using the estimator by Tang et al. (2007))

Details

Extended Haplotype Homozygosity (EHH), site-specific EHH (EHHS), integrated EHH (iHH) and integrated EHHS (iES) are computed for all SNPs of the chromosome (or linkage group). This function is several times faster as a procedure calling in turn calc_ehh and calc_ehhs for all SNPs. To perform a whole genome-scan this function needs to be called for each chromosome and the results concatenated.
