``qcf``: estimating quartet concordance factors
===============================================

`Read the Docs `__
==============================================

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

``qcf`` can be installed by cloning this repo and then compiling the main executable
using the provided ``Makefile`` (see code below). ``qcf`` is written in C++ for Unix-like
operating systems and makes use of features from the C++11 standard, which
requires a compatible compiler (GNU ``g++`` >= 4.8, Clang ``clang++`` >= 3.3).
Mac users will also need to have the Xcode
`Command Line Tools `__ installed.

The software also comes with several Python scripts for processing and analyzing output.
These scripts have been tested on Python versions 3.5-3.7, and require the ``numpy``
package, which can be installed as follows: ``pip install numpy``.

The steps to compile, test, and install ``qcf`` and the associated scripts
is given here:

.. code:: bash

# Code to compile and install qcf
git clone https://github.com/pblischak/QCF.git # 1. Clone the repo from GitHub
cd QCF # 2. cd into the QCF/ folder
make # 3. compile the qcf executable
make test # 4. test that the executable
# and Python scripts are working
sudo make install # 5. copy executable and Python scripts
# to /usr/local/bin

Usage
~~~~~

After compiling and installing the software, you can use the program in a terminal
window by typing ``qcf``. Below are the main commands that can be used to estimate
quartet concordance factors using ``qcf``. More details on input data formats, as well
as background on interpreting the output, can be found in the
`tutorial `__ on the ReadTheDocs site.

**Basic usage**:

.. code:: bash

# Run the data in the example folder
cd example
qcf -i genes.txt -m map.txt --prefix example

# Run with 100 bootstrap reps
qcf -i genes.txt -m mapt.txt -b 100 --prefix bootstrap

Raw quartet scores and confidence intervals
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In additional to calculating the QCF values for each species quartet, we have also
provided an option to print the gene-level quartet information to file to perform
per-gene bootstrap resampling for the calculation of confidence intervals on the
the species-level QCF values. This can activated by running ``qcf`` with the
``--printRaw`` flag added:

.. code::

# Print out the raw gene-tree quartet information
cd example/
qcf -i genes.txt -m map.txt --printRaw --prefix example

This raw output can then be processed using the ``qcf_boot.py`` Python script,
which will conduct bootstrap resampling across genes. Options for combining
runs across different sets of genes are available as well
(see `tutorial `__).
