SAPP Charts

“Original Genetic Distance Table. This table calculates genetic distances (GDs) from the input STR results alone. It should match closely (perhaps not exactly) with GD calculations from other tools” Dave Vance, http://www.jdvtools.com/Output/).

“Adjusted Genetic Distance Table. This table re-calculates the GDs based on the tree that SAPP has just calculated. It should therefore be a better indicator of the true genetic distance since it will correct for any convergence that may have occurred in the calculated tree. Note that this table will change as SAPP produces new trees for other combinations of STRs and SNPs and genealogies” (Dave Vance, http://www.jdvtools.com/Output/).

Note: When you open these xlsx files (at least on my computer), they show up as pdf files and are unreadable that way because you need to be able to scroll through them. At the top of the page there is a choice to "open with google sheets." It can take a few moments for it to completely open, but once it does the ability to have the top line stay "frozen" will work. Once you find your kit number along the left side, then you can scroll your line up to the top to compare it with all the other kits.
