I want to do a test for nuclear and mitochondrial genomic differentiation in multiple nematode species, around >100 species. But i don't have a lot of individuals,in some cases i just have one reference genome.
So my question is if i can use de Fst analysis to test genomic differentiation between this multiple nematode species? If not, what other test i can use?

In this situation, Fst analysis might not be the appropriate approach since the data set comprises different species among which there is no gene flow, unless if some of the species are inter-fertile.
Phylogenetic analysis seems to be more meaningful here, though it would depend on question you seek to address.
