introgression-detection

separate

Detect introgression and admixture between species or populations using Dsuite (Malinsky 2021 fast D-statistics), Patterson's D / ABBA-BABA test (Green 2010; Durand 2011), f4-ratio and f-branch statistic (Malinsky 2018), TreeMix (Pickrell & Pritchard 2012), HyDe (Blischak 2018), QuIBL (Edelman 2019), sprime (Browning 2018), Twisst (Martin 2017), PhyloNet (Than 2008) for explicit phylogenetic networks, and qpAdm / qpGraph (Patterson 2012). Distinguish introgression from incomplete lineage sorting (ILS), ancestral structure, ghost-lineage admixture, and rate variation. Use when testing inter-species gene flow, dating admixture events, identifying introgressed segments, building phylogenetic networks for reticulate evolution, or applying the ABBAclustering (Koppetsch-Malinsky-Matschiner 2024) framework for divergent-species gene flow.
