Data from: The effect of close relatives on unsupervised Bayesian clustering algorithms in population genetic structure analysis
The inference of population genetic structures is essential in many research areas in population genetics, conservation biology and evolutionary biology. Recently, unsupervised Bayesian clustering algorithms have been developed to detect a hidden population structure from genotypic data, assuming among others that individuals taken from the population are unrelated. Because of this hypothesis, markers in a sample taken from a subpopulation can be considered to be in Hardy-Weinberg and linkage equilibrium. However, close relatives might be sampled from the same subpopulation, and consequently, might cause Hardy-Weinberg and linkage disequilibrium and thus bias a population genetic structure analysis. In this study, we used simulated and real data to investigate the impact of close relatives in a sample on Bayesian population structure analysis. We also showed that, when close relatives were identified by a pedigree reconstruction approach and removed, the accuracy of a population genetic structure analysis can be greatly improved. The results indicate that unsupervised Bayesian clustering algorithms cannot be used blindly to detect genetic structure in a sample with closely related individuals. Rather, when closely related individuals are suspected to be frequent in a sample, these individuals should be first identified and removed before conducting a population structure analysis.
The impact of estimator choice: Disagreement in clustering solutions across K estimators for Bayesian analysis of population genetic structure across a wide range of empirical datasets
<p class="CxSpFirst">The software program STRUCTURE is one of the most cited tools for determining population structure. To infer the optimal number of clusters from STRUCTURE output, the Δ<i>K</i> method is often applied. However, a recent study relying on simulated microsatellite data suggested that this method has a downward bias in its estimation of <i>K</i> and is sensitive to uneven sampling. If this finding holds for empirical datasets, conclusions about the scale of gene flow may have to be revised for a large number of studies. To determine the impact of method choice, we applied recently described estimators of <i>K</i> to re-estimate genetic structure in 41 empirical microsatellite datasets; 15 from a broad range of taxa and 26 focused on a diverse phylogenetic group, coral. We compared alternative estimates of <i>K</i> (Puechmaille statistics) with traditional (Δ<i>K</i> and posterior probability) estimates and found widespread disagreement of estimators across datasets. Thus, one estimator alone is insufficient for determining the optimal number of clusters regardless of study organism or evenness of sampling scheme. Subsequent analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) between clustering solutions did not necessarily clarify which solution was best. To better infer population structure, we suggest a combination of visual inspection of STRUCTURE plots and calculation of the alternative estimators at various thresholds in addition to Δ<i>K</i>. Differences between estimators could reveal patterns with important biological implications, such as the potential for more population structure than previously estimated, as was the case for many studies reanalyzed here.</p>
