Threads

Threads is a threading-based method to reconstruct the ancestral recombination graph (ARG) from large datasets of sequenced, imputed, or genotyped genomes and to perform ARG-based genotype imputation.

ARG-Needle

ARG-Needle is an algorithm to reconstruct the genealogical history (ancestral recombination graph, ARG) of large collections of sequenced or genotyped genomes. ARG-Needle-lib is a library that can be used to perform genealogy-wide association and other analyses. This package also implements the ASMC-clust ARG reconstruction algorithm described in the manuscript.

CoalNN

CoalNN is a likelihood-free method, based on convolutional neural networks, for the estimation of TMRCAs and allele ages in sequencing, array, and imputed genomic data.

EpiNN

EpiNN uses a classification algorithm (convolutional neural network) trained with publicly available epigenetic data to recognize genomic regions likely to play a role in the adaptive and innate immune system.

FastSMC

FastSMC is a method to quickly and accurately estimate pairwise identical-by-descent (IBD) regions in the genome. FastSMC estimates the age of IBD segments and scales to large biobank datasets.

ASMC

The Ascertained Sequentially Markovian Coalescent is a method to efficiently estimate pairwise coalescence times along the genome. It can be run using SNP array or whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data.

ARGON

ARGON is a fast simulator of genetic data that samples from the discrete time Wright-Fisher process (DTWF) backwards in time. It first builds an ancestral recombination graph (ARG) and then uses it to generate genetic data or to efficiently compute pairwise haplotype sharing (IBD) statistics.

IBDmut

IBDmut estimates mutation and non-crossover gene conversion rates using identical-by-descent (IBD) segments shared by distant relatives within a population.

DoRIS

[note: this software is outdated, see HapNe for a more recent tool] DoRIS is a tool for reconstructing fine-scale demographic events that occurred in the very recent past (e.g. ~100 generations) of one or multiple populations.
