StructuRly

StructuRly facilitates interactive visualization and analysis of population genetic clustering by processing outputs from STRUCTURE and ADMIXTURE to aid interpretation of population structure and genetic differentiation.


Key Features:

  • Integration with Bayesian and maximum-likelihood clustering software: Processes and visualizes results from STRUCTURE and ADMIXTURE to represent individual- and population-level cluster assignments.
  • Interactive graphical outputs: Generates interactive plots using the Shiny library in R for exploration and customization of clustering visualizations.
  • Comprehensive analytical environment: Supports population clustering analyses and evaluation of genetic indices within a unified framework.

Scientific Applications:

  • Population structure inference: Analysis and visualization of STRUCTURE and ADMIXTURE outputs to infer genetic structure among individuals and populations.
  • Genetic differentiation assessment: Exploration of genetic differences within and between groups using clustering results and genetic indices.

Methodology:

Processes STRUCTURE and ADMIXTURE output files, generates interactive plots via the Shiny library in R, and performs population clustering analyses and evaluation of genetic indices.
