This repository contains code, configuration templates, and documentation to reproduce a cross-sectional ecological spatial analysis of locus-specific structure at the sickle-cell variant (HbS) in HBB across Uganda. The workflow summarizes subregional genotype composition, heterozygosity, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and Weir–Cockerham FST (global and pairwise), constructs genetic, geographic, and malaria-burden dissimilarity matrices (PfPR2–10), and evaluates joint associations using multiple matrix regression with randomization (MMRR). Secondary analyses include PCoA and dbRDA, with Mantel-family tests and a Rousset isolation-by-distance regression implemented as sensitivity analyses. Outputs include manuscript-ready tables and figures for reporting spatial heterogeneity in HbS burden and differentiation and its alignment with malaria transmission intensity and geography.
