We warmly thank Luis Portillo-Lemus for initial discussions during his PhD thesis that encouraged the development of this software. We thank three anonymous reviewers for finding a bug in the AMOVA output and for helping enhancing our manuscript. We globally thank students of the International Master in Biodiversity Ecology and Evolution and Modelling in Ecology at The University of Rennes1 and l’Institut Agro for identifying over the year the need of an adapted and user-friendly software to correctly teach polyploid population genetics in practical courses. Finally, we thank participants and organizers of the Polyploidy and Biodiversity conference (Rennes 11-12 October 2021) for their useful returns on the first version of GenAPoPop.
