Figure 1 shows the Admixture tab page selected. On this tab page, you can choose the K values<\/strong>. The K value<\/strong> ensures that the entire population will be classified into K groups<\/strong>. If you want to iterate calculating the Admixture analyses from one K value to another greater one, please ensure that the given check box is checked, and select two K values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure 3 shows the Admixture Bar Chart tab page<\/strong> selected within QTLmax Workbench. This tab page offers many configuration options. If you don’t want to manually select each setting, simply click the [Load demo] button<\/strong>. You’ll see that most of the settings are configured automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After replacing the demo data with your own, you’re free to change the settings to your desired values. You’ll also need to assign colors for each group<\/strong>. Once all your settings are complete, click the [Visualizer] button<\/strong>. You’ll then see the admixture plot generated. The “Sorting by group” combo box has two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) not sorted<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) sorted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure 4-1 shows the admixture plot when it’s not sorted, while Figure 4-2 displays the admixture plot in a sorted arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
