Migrate -
Population and Migration Analysis
 
 
Migrate estimates effective population sizes and past migration rates between n populations. It assumes a migration matrix model with asymmetric migration rates and different subpopulation sizes. Migrate uses maximum likelihood or Bayesian inference to jointly estimate all parameters.

It includes the following input data types:

  • Sequence data.
  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms
  • Microsatellite data
  • Electrophoretic data
It generates the following output:

  • Estimates of migration rates and population sizes
  • Profile likelihood tables
  • Percentiles
  • Likelihood-ratio tests
  • Log-likelihood surface plots
 
Parallel Version
Migrate has been parallelized to run on the 56-CPU Bioinformatics cluster. Compute-bound jobs and jobs with large datasets run efficiently on the cluster with considerably improved performance over single-CPU machines..
