• TreeMix v1.12 [Pickrell2012]

The following R packages are required in order to carry out the plotting:

• RColorBrewer
• ape [Paradis2004]
• ggplot2 [Wickham2009]

Zonkey reference panel

Running the Zonkey pipeline requires a reference panel containing the information needed for hybrid identification. A detailed description of the reference panel and instructions for where to download the latest version can be found in the Reference Panel section.

Testing the pipeline

An example project is included with the BAM pipeline, and it is recommended to run this project in order to verify that the pipeline and required applications have been correctly installed. See the Zonkey Pipeline example project section for a description of how to run this example project.
