pixy

Description

pixy website

pixy is a command-line tool for painlessly computing unbiased estimators of population genetic summary statistics that measure genetic variation within (π, θW, Tajima’s D) and between (dxy, FST) populations from a VCF. In particular, pixy facilitates the use of VCFs containing invariant (monomorphic) sites, which are essential for the correct computation of π and dxy in the face of missing data (i.e. always).
