Used Case

Find local Ancestries
Prerequisites
  1. Generate the baseline file using the FindDivergenceFromBaseline utility of POPSICLE
  2. Find clusters file using PerformKmeansClustering utility of POPSICLE
  3. Generate ARFF file using Convert2ARFFformat utility of POPSICLE
What does it do?
It finds shared ancestries between different strains and species
How to run it?
java -jar LPDtools.jar POPSICLEIntermediate -i inputPOPSICLEbaselineFile -j clustersFile -o outputAncestryFile -n blockSize -k baselineARFFFile -l temporaryDirectory

Here, -i is the baseline files generated using FindDivergenceFromBaseline utility of POPSICLE. -j is the clusters file generated PerformKmeansClustering using utility of POPSICLE, -n is the desired block size (eg. 1000 suggests block size of 1kb), -o is the output file and -l is a directory where temporary files are written. This directory with temporary files can be deleted later
Output
ancestries
First column is chromosome name, columns 2 and 3 are start and end of the block columns 4 and greater are the local ancestry assignments of each sample. The last column is the number of markers in each block. The first row is header information, the second row is the clade assignment of each sample.
