Hello Roma,

Use the groups from find.clusters.

It's a common misconception, but DAPC is not a method to define groups. It
is a tool that allows you to create a model of your data based on your
groups so that you can assess how well you can differentiate samples into
individual groups (similar to AMOVA) and give you a method to predict what
groups your samples belong in based on that model.

find.clusters() and snapclust() are the only functions in adegenet that can
determine groups de novo from your data.

Hope that helps,
Zhian
