STRUCTURE Results Interpretation

[tenne3...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

What could be the reason for using high K values (Ex: K=6) to interpret the results of STRUCTURE (presence of distinct populations, assigning individuals to populations, identifying migrants and admixed individuals) other than the use of the uppermost clustering level (Ex: K=2)?

Best Regards,

Asanka
