Dear All,

I'm still relatively new to genetic diversity analysis of plant pathogens. I'd like to ask for suggestions on how to produce a dendrogram consisting of a combination of several genetic markers using the NTSYS software.

I'm using SSR and ISSR markers to analyse the diversity of various isolates of Fusarium wilt pathogen. I'm confident of generating a data matrix using a single genetic marker (using binary codes) and then producing a dendrogram. However, I'm not entirely sure how the data matrix would look like when more than one genetic markers are used.

May I ask for your suggestions on how a data matrix consisting of more than one genetic markers would look like?

Also, is it necessary to test the combinability of data sets from different genetic markers using partition homogeneity test using PAUP software? Does anyone have any experience in handling such test using this software?

Thank you in advance.
