STRUCTURE
Version 2.2 (April 3, 2007)
The program structure implements a model-based clustering method for inferring population structure using genotype data consisting of unlinked markers. Its uses include inferring the presence of distinct populations, assigning individuals to populations, studying hybrid zones, identifying migrants and admixed individuals, and estimating population allele frequencies in situations where many individuals are migrants or admixed.
