CLUMPP

CLUMPP version 1.1.2 is available as of June 5, 2009

CLUMPP is a program that deals with label switching and multimodality problems in population-genetic cluster analyses. CLUMPP permutes the clusters output by independent runs of clustering programs such as structure, so that they match up as closely as possible. The user has the option of choosing one of three algorithms for aligning replicates, with a tradeoff of speed and similarity to the optimal alignment. A program note describing CLUMPP was published in Bioinformatics 23: 1801-1806 (2007). [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

./CLUMPP

in UNIX or

CLUMPP

from a Dos prompt in Windows. It will permute the matrices in the input file to produce as close an alignment as possible.
