[Biopython-dev] draft release announcement

[Tiago Antão]

Something along the lines of:

The Population Genetics module now allows the calculation of several
tests, and statistical estimators via a wrapper to GenePop. Supported
are tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium and
estimates for various F statistics (Cockerham and Wier Fst and Fis,
Robertson and Hill Fis, ...), null allele frequencies and number of
migrants among many others. Isolation By Distance (IBD) functionality
is also supported.


I suppose the changes to PopGen are the biggest going on this
Biopython version and probably one of the highlights. I should update
the documentation ASAP.

I intend to announce this version to some population genetics and
evolutionary biology communities (something I have never done in the
past)
