Migrate-N

Migrate-N is used to migrate infer population genetic parameters from genetic data. At present one must create a parmfile using a local copy of Migrate-N, and in the parmfile, specify infile=infile. The parmfile is then uploaded, and th values in it are used to configure the run. In order to run effciently, one must specify the correct number of loci in the dataset.

A manual for Migrate-N is available [pdf]; Migrate-N home page here.

Tutorial.

The Tool ID for this interface is MIGRATEN_XSEDE. It is selected with toolId = MIGRATEN_XSED

Supported uploaded files:
input.infile_ - Primary Input File
choose_parmfile_ - The parmfile that configures the run

Supported parameters are:
For all runs.
vparam.runtime_ - Float - Maximum Hours to Run. Max = 168, default=0.25.
vparam.num_loci_= Integer, required, sets the correct number of processes for an efficent run.

INPUT = several data types are permitted. These include: Allele, Microsatellite, Brownian, Sequence, SNP, HapMap, Geneology Summaries

Test input file (microsatellite data): migrate_infile.txt

Test input parmfile (created using a local copy of Migrate-N) parmfile.txt

Test output file1: outfile_bayes.pdf

Test output file2: bayesfile.txt
