Abstract
GENCLONE 1.0 is designed for studying clonality and its spatial components using genotype
data with molecular markers from haploid or diploid organisms. GENCLONE 1.0 performs
the following tasks. (i) discriminates distinct multilocus genotypes (MLGs), and uses
permutation and resampling approaches to test for the reliability of sets of loci and
sampling units for estimating genotypic and genetic diversity (a procedure also useful
for nonclonal organisms); (ii) computes statistics to test for clonal propagation or clonal
identity of replicates; (iii) computes various indices describing genotypic diversity; and
(iv) summarizes the spatial organization of MLGs with adapted spatial autocorrelation
methods and clonal subrange estimates.
