distruct

distruct version 1.1 is available as of June 28, 2007

distruct is a program that can be used to graphically display results produced by the genetic clustering program structure or by other similar programs. The figures produced by distruct display individual membership coefficients in the same form as used in "Genetic structure of human populations" Science 298: 2381-2385 (2002). Various options enable the user to control left-to-right printing order of populations, bottom-to-top printing order of clusers, colors, and other graphical details. [Example]

To use the UNIX versions, unzip and untar the files in an appropriate directory using

gunzip filename.tar.gz; tar xvf filename.tar

where "filename.tar.gz" is the downloaded file. Winzip will unzip the Windows version. Run the program by typing

./distruct

in UNIX or

distruct

from a Dos prompt in Windows. It will produce a figure using the data that are represented in the Central/South Asia K=5 plot in Science 298: 2381-2385 (2002).
