<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello, <br></div>I have a microsatellite data set of an hexaploid organism. I have uploaded the data but when I call for the number of alleles per locus I get an extra allele (0), it is cause for the zeros I have to put so the data can make sense. Now, I'm worried that this allele frequency will distortion my results because I want to make a DAPC. In the package "poppr" there's a command called "recode.polyploids" to eliminate that extra allele but after reading adegenet tutorials I haven't found any comment about this issue. Should I eliminate this extra allele or leave my data as it is? Thank you for your help.<br>
