ANGSD supports several likelihood, SAF and SFS workflows, but they do not all use the same allele convention or require the same external sequence.

This documentation clarifies:

  • when -anc is required for polarized analyses;
  • how -ref differs from an ancestral sequence;
  • which SAF modes rely on inferred major/minor alleles;
  • why precomputed VCF/BCF likelihoods still require compatible chromosome and allele labels;
  • which parameters should be recorded for reproducibility.

No computational behavior is changed.
