ipADMIXTURE is an R package to infer clusters and their phylogeny based on Q matrices of genetic admixture analysis. It is the first software of its kind to infer not just only clusters, but also the hierarchy of sub-populations w.r.t. the minimum number of ancestors that split any pair of clusters apart. Since inputs of the package, Q matrices, can be obtained from well-known software (ADMIXTURE, STRUCTURE, etc.) and the Q matrices are mandatory information that are used in genetic population structure study, our package has a potential to help scientists and researchers to find deeper explanation of admixture analysis in their studies. Our package comes with a user-friendly interface to make the software accessible for everyone.
