Description:The program structure is a free software package for using multi-locus genotype data to investigate population structure.
Abstract: The program structure is a free software package for using multi-locus genotype data to investigate population structure. Its uses include inferring the presence of distinct populations, assigning individuals to populations, studying hybrid zones, identifying migrants and admixed individuals, and estimating population allele frequencies in situations where many individuals are migrants or admixed. It can be applied to most of the commonly-used genetic markers, including SNPS, microsatellites, RFLPs and AFLPs.
The basic algorithm was described by Pritchard, Stephens & Donnelly (2000). Extensions to the method were published by Falush, Stephens and Pritchard (2003), and (2007) and Hubisz, Falush, Stephens and Pritchard (2009).
