nancycats {adegenet}

Microsatellites genotypes of 237 cats from 17 colonies of Nancy (France)

Description

This data set gives the genotypes of 237 cats (Felis catus L.) for 9 microsatellites markers. The individuals are divided into 17 colonies whose spatial coordinates are also provided.

Format

nancycats is a genind object with spatial coordinates of the colonies as a supplementary components (@xy).
