Yes i have 7 pools (=7 rows or =7 individuals in the analysis), and i expect two clusters representing two already characterized lineages. I have found 4 likely clusters based on HCPC but i want to double check this, with a kmeans if possible.<br>

Hi again,<br>
<br>
such plot typically indicates no clustering. Just to confirm: are we talking about 7 rows and 100,000 columns?<br>
<br>
If so, your pools are technically your statistical individuals, and the method explore clustering solutions for 1-6 clusters for 7 individuals, which won't go far - not enough individuals to detect clustering really. Apologies if I misunderstood.<br>

Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
Thanks for response. I’ve run find.clusters() with the matrix of allele frequencies as input file, and then run the DAPC using still the matrix (not the genind or genlight object) by assigning the group generated with kmeans (grp$grp). It works but I have a strange “inverted parabolic curve" for the kmean analysis.<br>
Is it a common picture for pooldseq data?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Ben<br>
