[adegenet-forum] RAPD data

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Hello, 

Assuming your RAPD data are dominant, it is by definition impossible to distinguish heterozygotes from homozygotes, or to compute allele frequencies (hence no Fst, no HW test). You can still derive a similarity matrix using propShared. Note that the output will no longer be the proportion of shared alleles, but the proportion of allele presence common to pairs of sequences.

Cheers

Thibaut

Dears
I have RAPD data, I like to estimate heterozyosity, Fst , hw.test,  as well as similarity matrix
My question is,
could I do these tests using adegenet or pegas on RAPD data?
Thanks in advance
