Hello,

I could not find any tool/script that calculates FST on haploid data. All the tools that I know of calculate FST on diploid data only. I really appreciate anyone's help in finding a tool for this purpose.

Thank you,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

I have the same problem as you.

I know that the R package hierfstat should do this calculation, but I haven't tested it yet.

What kind of data have you ? Have you found a solution?

Thanks,

Guillaume

You can use genet.dist function from hierfstat library to calculate different Fst estimates from haploid data. Make sure to set diploid=F. A detailed tutorial can be found here: https://arftrhmn.net/fst-for-haploid-data-in-r/
