Software | Description | Inference Framework | References |
BayesAss+ | Provides estimates of recent migration rates between populations using multilocus genotype data | Bayesian, MCMC | [21] |
Baps | Assigns individuals to genetic clusters using a partition-based mixture model | Bayesian | [42], [43] |
GeneClass | Selects or excludes populations as origins of individuals using multilocus genotype data | Bayesian, likelihood | [44] |
Geneland | Detects population subdivisions using multilocus genotype data, accounting for the spatial location of sampled individuals | Bayesian, MCMC | [45] |
Structure | Infers the presence of distinct populations, assigns individuals to populations, and identifies migrants using multilocus genotype data | Bayesian, MCMC | [19] |
MCMC, Markov chain Monte Carlo.
