Hi guys,
I'm going to analyze RAPD data from a diploid organisms and thus, I need to create a binary matrix to be imported on R for packages like ape or adegenet. However, I'm still not sure about how to create the matrix and can't find clear instruction. From the adegenet tutorial file on page 17 seems I need to place the individuals in rows and loci in colums, eventually separated by "|". In this way the information regarding band size and eventually melting temperature are lost. However, in other publications, the binary matrix is created with band size on rows and individuals on columns (a way I guess adegenet won't take it). Here the file I've created so far:
Am I doing it right? Thanks :)
