Allele Frequency’s
To investigate the Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) of the adaptive traits
VCFtools v0.1.16 was used to separate adaptive and non-adaptive loci and
report on MAF statistics. VCFtools was also used to separate loci from
traits of interest and report on their MAF. The provenances were split
into Northern (north of 50th latitude) and Southern
(south of 50th latitude). MAF for each trait of
interest for was investigated for differences between the Southern and
Northern populations.
