AncestryPainter 2.0: Visualizing Ancestry Composition and Admixture History Graph.

ABSTRACT: The earlier version of AncestryPainter is a Perl program that displays the ancestry composition of numerous individuals using a rounded graph. Motivated by the requests of users in practical applications, we updated AncestryPainter to version 2.0 by coding in an R package and improving the layout, providing more options and compatible statistical functions for graphing. Apart from improving visualization functions per se in this update, we added an extra graphing module to visualize genetic distance through radial bars of varying lengths surrounding a core. Notably, AncestryPainter 2.0 allows for multiple pie charts at the center of the graph to display the ancestry composition of more than one target population and implements a method admixture history graph to infer the admixture sequenc
