color assignment not following K #71

Open rturba opened 2 years ago

rturba commented 2 years ago

Hello! It seems I'm getting a strange output with my analysis. When I run the distruct.py script on my dataset, the color scheme of the assignment plots do not seem to follow the number of K clusters. Has someone else seen that before? My best K is 2, and up to 3 the colors seem OK, but then it does not matter the number of Ks, I can only distinguish at most 4 different color patterns :(

I'm running this on a Linux cluster. I've processed my plink files to prune for LD and only retain biallelic SNPs.

I've ran it on the test data and is also behaving the same strange way... :/

I've been seeing a similar thing, where when I make a distruct plot for k=3 I get two colors and at k=5 get three colors, etc. I've noticed it occurs with data from seeds but not others. I'm also running on a linux cluster .
