Hi!
I have a simple question. Most of us have our microsatellite data in an 
excel file to start with. The ones how use GenAlex even have the 
geographic coordinates in the last two rows. We can easily convert the 
data in the sheet into several formats. How can I convert an easily 
obtained csv file with headers (1sr row = individual id, 2nd = 
population id, 3rd row= allele 1, locus 1, 4th row= allele 2, locus 1, 
etc, 17th row = latitude, 18th row = longitude) nto a genind object that 
can be used in sPCA? I get an error that coordinates are repeated, but 
that is normal as there are multiple individuals in the same pop.

If this question was answered previously, I will appreciate if you could 
direct me to it.
Many thanks
Rita
