FormatGenotypes: Formatting file of genotype data.

In Geneland: Detection of Structure from Multilocus Genetic Data

Description

Takes genotype data as a matrix with one line per individual and two columns per locus, with alleles coded by integers (number of replications for micro-satellites data). Build a new matrix with alleles codes as consecutive integers. If a locus has 7 alleles they will be coded as 1,2,...7. Since version 1.0.1, this function does not have to be called by users. It is called through MCMC.
