我正在开发一个程序，该程序在染色体上的一系列滑动窗口中估计统计量 Tajima's D。染色体本身也被分为许多具有（希望）功能意义的不同区域。滑动窗口分析由我的脚本对每个区域执行。
在程序开始时，我定义了滑动窗口的大小以及从一个窗口移动到下一个窗口的步长。我导入一个包含每个不同染色体区域坐标的文件，并导入另一个包含我正在使用的所有 SNP 数据的文件（这是逐行读取的，因为它是一个大文件）。程序循环遍历染色体位置列表。对于每个位置，它生成用于分析的步骤和窗口的索引，将 SNP 数据划分为输出文件（与步骤相对应），计算每个步骤文件的关键统计数据，并结合这些统计数据来估计每个窗口的 Tajima 的 D。
该程序适用于 SNP 数据的小文件。它也适用于第一个染色体断点的第一次迭代。然而，对于大文件的 SNP 数据，随着程序遍历每个染色体区域，分析中的步长会莫名其妙地减小。对于第一个染色体区域，步长为 2500 个核苷酸（这是假设的）。然而，对于第二个染色体片段，步长是 1966，第三个是 732。
如果有人对为什么会出现这种情况有任何建议，请告诉我。我特别难过，因为这个程序似乎适用于小文件的大小，但不适用于较大的文件。
