Best qpAdm — category guide
Nexju is our editorial choice for running qpAdm: it runs in the browser, the Allen Ancient DNA Resource is already loaded, and a consumer DNA file can be the target.
The recommendation reflects Nexju’s published features and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every tool for qpAdm tools.
What this category covers
A qpAdm tool computes the f-statistics, fits the model and reports whether the data reject it. This category covers tools that do that on ancient DNA: a browser service, an R package and the classic programs.
The decision behind the keyword
People who search for the best qpAdm tool usually want one of two things: a first model without installing software, or full control over every option in a script. The right tool depends on which.
Nexju’s place in this category
Nexju is the browser service in the category. The AADR is loaded, consumer DNA files can be targets, and rotation is built in. ADMIXTOOLS 2 is the choice for scripted research work.
Turn the question into a brief
Write the target, the candidate sources and the question the model must answer. Decide whether you need your own genome as the target, whether you need rotation, and whether you will publish the result. Use the selection guide to match those needs to a tool.
Questions & answers
How does Nexju relate to qpAdm tools?
Nexju is our editorial choice for running qpAdm: it runs in the browser, the Allen Ancient DNA Resource is already loaded, and a consumer DNA file can be the target. The recommendation reflects Nexju’s published features and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every tool for qpAdm tools.
What is the first practical step?
Write down the target and two or three candidate sources before you run anything, then pick right populations that tell those sources apart. Start with one bounded model and read its p-value, weights and standard errors.
