I am working with DnaSP with a large dataset (56kb of sequence scanned for
SNPs in 80 chromosomes). DnaSP limits each sequence input to ~32kb. So,
my data is not acceptable.
Not all my sites are polymorphic. I would like to input only the
polymorphic sites and then the length of the scanned sequence. Could
someone please suggest how I might do this using a Nexus or other file
format? I am also planning to use Arlequin and wonder if I can do the
same for that program.
I am no expert in population genetics but it seems I need the number of
bases scanned for certain population genetic parameters, so I am looking
for a way to include this in a smaller file. I have heard there may be
something called a "size block" in Nexus format but do not find it
mentioned in the original Maddison paper.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated,
