Residual Plots

4.5K
A residual plot is a statistical representation of data used to analyze correlation and regression results. It helps verify the requirements for drawing specific conclusions about correlation and regression. To obtain the residual plot, first, the residual for each data value is calculated, which is simply the vertical distance between the observed and the predicted value obtained from the regression equation.
When the residual values are plotted against the variable x, it is called a residual...

Plotting of Topographic Maps01:29

Plotting of Topographic Maps

39
Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface features using contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation to create a two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional terrain. Creating a topographic map requires a systematic approach.Begin by plotting a scaled grid and marking intersections corresponding to the survey's elevation data points. Assign elevation values at these intersections to build the base map. Next, determine contour levels using a consistent contour interval,...

Modified Boxplots

9.1K
A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

5.7K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Pie Chart01:04

Pie Chart

13.7K
A pie chart (or a pie graph) is a circular graphical chart or a pictorial representation of categorical data. It is divided into slices of pie each indicating numerical proportions. It is also used to show the relative sizes of data in a single chart.
In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. Some real-world examples that can be depicted using pie charts include marks obtained by students...

Area of Science:

  • Population Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • AncestryPainter's previous Perl version visualized individual ancestry composition.
  • User requests for practical applications motivated an update.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update AncestryPainter to version 2.0 as an R package.
  • To improve visualization, add graphing options, and statistical functions for ancestry analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Re-coded AncestryPainter in R.
  • Developed new modules for genetic distance visualization (radial bars) and admixture history graphing.
  • Implemented a statistical module for merging ancestry proportion matrices.
  • Validated admixture history graph metrics using simulated and real data.

Main Results:

  • AncestryPainter 2.0 offers enhanced visualization with improved layout and more graphing options.
  • Introduced a genetic distance visualization module.
  • Added functionality to display multiple target population ancestries and infer admixture sequences.
  • Implemented a Pearson coefficient-based metric for admixture history analysis.

Conclusions:
