This stand-alone program implements the Fine-Mapping of Adaptive Variation (FineMAV) statistic for detection of positively selected variants.
The FineMAV score of the derived allele for each SNP is calculated by multiplying three metrics:
- Derived allele purity -- measure of population differentiation that ranges from 0 to 1, where a score of 1 indicates that all the derived alelles fall into a single population.
- Derived allele frequency
- The Combined Annotation-Dependent Depletion PHRED-scaled C-score (CADD_PHRED) -- a measure of functionality

4th May 2021 : We recently released the GUI version of FineMAV for Linux. For more information on how to install and launch the GUI version of the software, please visit our wiki.
