Dear All,
Could any of you experts please guide to/give a step by step procedure
to construct 'Bar Plot' from Structure results which are often seen in
publications using Structure output? If not in great detail, even some
short bullet points would be a great help!

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
S

Consult the programs CLUMPP and DISTRUCT.

Dear Vikram,
Many thanks for the suggestions! I quickly went to their websites and
at the moment instructions look complicated to me but hopefully I
should be able to sail through it.
Regards,
S

Hi S,

Did you get it to work?
If you use structure harvester  http://taylor0.biology.ucla.edu/structureHarvester/  it provides the CLUMPP input files (indfile and popfile) in the output for each K.
Use Notepad ++ to edit files if necessary, and then use the output of CLUMPP in DISTRUCT
It is less complicated than it looks.. and you can produce nice barplots with varying colours, orientation etc.

There are surely scripts for this, but you can manage for small datasets!

Dear Jacinta,
Many thanks for your message. I could only manage running Clumpp but
not Distruct as with my data Clumpp only gave one output for
individuals only and Distruct needs two inout files - one for
individuals and the other for populations.
Regards,
S

We just replied this on another post, so you may have seen it, but you'll need to run CLUMPP *separately* for you IND files and POP files output from Harvester. You can then just rename your outputs to put into distruct.
