Method synopsis

Calculation of Nei's genetic distances between all sample pairs followed by UPGMA clustering and significance testing through computer simulation to identify genetically similar groups.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Spatial genetic heterogeneity in a population of the montane perennial plant Delphinium nelsonii (1987), Heredity. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
