DIY ABC software and manual

[Gustavo Tavares]

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to use DIY ABC for analysing and checking models for my mater's dissertation.

My data consist of human mtDNA HVS-I (part of the control region) sequences (616 samples) each one containing 312bp. I tried to set the input file in the genepop format, however, the DIY ABC rejects it, saying something is incorrect (and when I fix the error, another one pop up). 

Does anyone know the correct format for this type of marker?

I formatted in this way:

First line: heading + sex ratio = title <NM=1.0NF>

second line: SEQ <M>

third line: POP

fourth line and so on: samplename + comma + tab + [<ACCACCCAAG.......>]

until the next POP

It looked like this:

HVS I in human population <NM=1.0NF>

SEQ <M>

POP

Samplename,             [<ACCACCCAAG........................>]

"

"

"

POP

Samplename,             [<GCCACCCAG..........................>]

Anyone can help me with the correct format?

Thanks in advance,

Gustavo

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't know how to use DIY ABC. Maybe someone else can help you with that.

Best,

Joao
