Question:
I have a question regarding the use of minimum spanning trees for the analysis of MLVA data: is there a way to weight the analysis to take the number of repeat differences at each locus into consideration?
Answer:
The summed absolute distance coefficient (also called “Manhattan” or “City block” coefficient) takes this into account.
