The subject I am interested in was not absolutely clear to me when I was reading
the manual and the tutorials. Maybe I missed something. If so, I am
sorry.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" lang=EN-GB>I have a dataset of 1800 individuals
genotyped with 12 microsatellites. In order to visualize the genetic Population
structure I made a Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) without
“find.clusters” and it worked perfect. Because I am interested in the alleles
which have the most contribution to the DAPC I visualized the contributions of
alleles with the command: “#loadingplot(dapc1$var.contr)”.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" lang=EN-GB>I received a data frame with the
contributions of the alleles. My question: Does this data frame show the
contributions of the alleles to the complete DAPC (PCA and DA) or just to the
PCA? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
