Minimum spanning tree of genetic distances between individuals
tab
This tab allows users to compute the genetic distance between
individuals using their identity-in-state (number of shared alleles) and
provides the corresponding minimum spanning unrooted tree using the
classical equal-angle algorithm
(Christopher Meacham in
Felsenstein 2004). This network representation is useful to detect
multilocus lineages (named MLL in literature) due to clonality that
shape typical rosettes or small rosaries, i.e., a group of ramets
differing by a limited number of mutations radiating around a main genet
(Fig. 2).
