[adegenet-forum] Removing individuals from genind obj

[Caitlin Collins]

Hi again,

You might also find it useful to take a look through the tutorials posted
on the adegenet github page
<https://github.com/thibautjombart/adegenet/wiki/Tutorials>. The "basics"
tutorial contains the answer to your question (and many more like it!).

Cheers,
CC.
