Please install all the programs and packages well on time prior each lesson. We assume Win 10/Linux operation systems. Ask us if you need help before the lesson starts. R program and R studio wrapper will be used throughout. For installing R packages simply use Tools → Install Packages in R Studio or install.packages() function.
Microsatellites
Lesson 1
Estimation of population genetic parameters, reconstruction of genetic structure in multilocus data, hybrid detection
programs to install: MSA, R (packages: adegenet, pegas), R studio, Structure, NewHybrids
additional information from a basic course
SNP data
Lesson 2
