How to read this

Each dot is one sequenced sample. Samples that sit on top of each other are genetically near-identical — that is what a clone group looks like here, and why you have to zoom in to see its members at all.

Distance is only a rough summary. The first two axes capture 12.3% and 6.7% of the variation, so two dots that look close can still differ elsewhere in the genome; and several samples share a genotype, which pulls the axes toward the largest clone groups. Every relationship claim in the project rests on the kinship statistics in the technical report, not on this picture.

Colours are the project’s genotype groups: the clone groups, the same-tree controls and the replicates. Grey dots are genotypes found only once in this panel. California Black is shown on its own because the study deliberately leaves its clone membership uncalled.
