BFST(1) 		      bFst (VCF statistics)			 BFST(1)

NAME
     bFst

SYNOPSIS
     bFst  -target 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 -background 11,12,13,16,17,19,22 -file my.vcf
     -deltaaf 0.1

DESCRIPTION
     bFst is a Bayesian approach to Fst.  Importantly bFst accounts for genotype
     uncertainty in the model using genotype likelihoods.  For a  more	detailed
     description  see:	`A  Bayesian  approach to inferring population structure
     from dominant markers' by Holsinger et al. Molecular Ecology Vol 11,  issue
     7	2002.  The likelihood function has been modified to use genotype likeli-
     hoods provided by variant callers.  There are five  free  parameters  esti-
     mated in the model: each subpopulation's allele frequency and Fis (fixation
     index,  within  each subpopulation), a free parameter for the total popula-
     tion's allele frequency, and Fst.

OPTIONS
	    Output : 11 columns :
		 1.  Seqid
		 2.  Position
		 3.  Observed allele frequency in target.
		 4.  Estimated allele frequency in target.
		 5.  Observed allele frequency in background.
		 6.  Estimated allele frequency in background.
		 7.  Observed allele frequency combined.
		 8.  Estimated allele frequency in combined.
		 9.  ML estimate of Fst (mean)
		 10. Lower bound of the 95% credible interval
		 11. Upper bound of the 95% credible interval

	    required: t,target	   -- a zero bases comma separated list of target individuals corrisponding to VCF columns
	    required: b,background -- a zero bases comma separated list of background individuals corrisponding to VCF columns
	    required: f,file a	   -- a proper formatted VCF file.  the FORMAT field MUST contain "PL"
	    required: d,deltaaf    -- skip sites were the difference in allele frequency is less than deltaaf

	    Type: statistics
