[adegenet-forum] Request an example of genetic distance among two individuals

[Fernando Cruz]

Hi Thibaut,

I performed a NJ Tree using 1M SNPs with 10 samples, following the 
instructions in the documentation. However I would like to know exactly 
the genetic distance among individuals is calculated. Is it based on the 
number of shared alleles?

Could you provide a simple  example? Like for this two individuals using 
5 SNPs:
Ind1 00122
Ind2 02210

Using the binary information, they share 2+0+1+1+0= 4 alleles out of 10

Thanks in advance,
Fernando Cruz
