Analysis of molecular variance
Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), is a
ANOVA. The method was developed by Laurent Excoffier, Peter Smouse and Joseph Quattro at Rutgers University
in 1992.
Since developing AMOVA, Excoffier has written a
R language in the ade4 and the pegas packages, both available on CRAN (Comprehensive R Archive Network). Another implementation is in Info-Gen, which also runs on Windows
. The student version is free and fully functional. Native language of the application is Spanish but an English version is also available.
An additional free statistical package, GenAlEx,[2] is geared toward teaching as well as research and allows for complex genetic analyses to be employed and compared within the commonly used Microsoft Excel interface. This software allows for calculation of analyses such as AMOVA, as well as comparisons with other types of closely related statistics including F-statistics and Shannon's index, and more.
