-
-
- This is an annoucement for the public release of a WINDOWS 3.x based program
-
- to analyze the GENETIC STRUCTURE OF POPULATIONS using MOLECULAR INFORMATION.
-
-
- This program (WINAMOVA ver 1.04) is based on a paper by Excoffier, Smouse and
-
- Quattro (1992), and computes variance components for 2 levels of population
-
- structure as well as their associated modified F-statistics (called here Phi-
-
- statistics).
-
-
- This version can handle a maximum of 255 molecular haplotypes, 100 populations
-
- and 100 groups of populations. It requires haplotype frequency information for
-
- each population, as well as a matrix of inter-haplotypic squared (euclidian)
-
- distances.
-
-
- Conventional multi-allelic F-statistics may also be computed.
-
-
- The program includes a non-parametrical (permutational) test for the
-
- significance of both variance components and Phi-statistics.
-
-
- It can be uploaded by anonymous FTP from : ACASUN1.UNIGE.CH
-
- (username : anonymous) in the directory : pub/amova
-
- under the form of an archived file called WINAMOVA.ZIP, including
-
- executable versions for Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1, plus example files.
-
-
- The program is FREEWARE and can be distributed freely in its
- original form, but I would appreciate receiving an E-mail from
- interested users, as well as comments, suggestions, and bug
- reports.
-
- (Windows 3.x is a product from Microsoft Corporation)
