Accuracy of jointly inferred rates of clonality and selfing with increasing ploidy
ClonEstiMatePoly, the Bayesian method we propose here to jointly infer rates of clonality, selfing and allogamy in autopolyploid populations genotyped at two-time step showed high accuracy and limited confusion to jointly infer the true rates of clonality and selfing. The method inferred in the worst cases the true joint rates of clonality and selfing with a precision of ±0.2 (Fig. S6). It occurred when populations reproduced using both intermediate rates of clonality and rates of selfing. Increasing ploidy showed a slight tendency to overestimate selfing rates when populations also reproduced using intermediate rates of clonality.
