[adegenet-forum] glPlot: which sample is used as the reference?

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Hi there, 

I suspected this misunderstanding. genlight stores biallelic data are coded as binary, so the first allele is 0 and the second is 1 for all sites, the definition of first and second being arbitrary.

Cheers
Thibaut

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply! I am sorry, but I might do not describe my
question clearly.

My question is: which sequence was chosen as the reference when using
the glPlot?

The plot implies the existence of a reference sequence (i.e. a missing
site in relation to what? A SNP in relation to what?), right?

Cheers,

Yan
