Genetic diversity#
This page calculates genetic diversity in individuals and cohorts. Genetic diversity (π) is a measure of nucleotide diversity that quantifies the average number of nucleotide differences per site between two sequences (Nei & Li, 1979). It provides insights into population history and evolutionary forces.
Note: Calculating genetic diversity from Ag-vampIR amplicons is tricky because there are so many IR amplicons, results will be biased by the presence of selective sweeps. AIMs may also not be neutral.
