We have developed a program called Spatial Genetic Software (SGS), which provides a user-friendly Windows tool to analyze both local and broad scale genetic and phenotypic structure. It can deal with nearly any type of genetic data, codominant (allozyme, PCR-RFLP, microsatellite) or dominant (RAPD, AFLP) markers, or biparentally (nuclear) or uniparentally (cpDNA and mtDNA) inherited markers. Data based on any of these markers can be analyzed, either as individual genotypes within a single population (local scale) or as allele or haplotype frequencies from different populations (broad scale). We also include a simple approach to analysis of spatial structure for continuous quantitative traits. The program implements various parameters to analyze spatial genetic and phenotypic structure: Moran's index, Geary's index, number of alleles in common, and approaches using genetic distances and FST values. The statistical significance of all measures is verified by the use of a permutation test. The results are assessed by graphics that can be integrated, via the clipboard, to other Windows programs. The details of the computations are given in a table and can be stored as ASCII files.
