[adegenet-forum] DAPC Loading

[Thibaut Jombart]

Hi there

the squared loadings sum to 1, which should give you a scale for the
contributions of individual loadings. From what you describe, it seems that
indeed no specific allele has a strong contribution to the diversity
highlighted by DAPC.

Best
Thibaut
