FLOCK provides reliable solutions to the "number of populations" problem.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Duchesne Pierre, Turgeon Julie

Abstract excerpt

Identifying groups of individuals forming coherent genetic clusters is relevant to many fields of biology. This paper addresses the K-partition problem: given a collection of genotypes, partition those genotypes into K groups, each group being a sample of the K source populations that are represented in the collection of genotypes. This problem involves allocating genotypes to genetic groups while building those...
