Evaluating the ability of Bayesian clustering methods to detect hybridization and introgression using an empirical red wolf data set.

Abstract excerpt

Bayesian clustering methods have emerged as a popular tool for assessing hybridization using genetic markers. Simulation studies have shown these methods perform well under certain conditions; however, these methods have not been evaluated using empirical data sets with individuals of known ancestry. We evaluated the performance of two clustering programs, baps and structure, with genetic data from a reintroduced...
