In the near future one of my projects is revising and expanding the "PHYLO" pedigree file which I put up a week ago. Basically I want there to be a public data set which has a modest number of SNPs useful for phylogenetic analysis (100-200,000) with a wide population coverage. Additionally, I am going to do a few things like rename the family ids to populations, and also release it with scripts to help in running Admixture (for example, shell scripts which will automate replication and later analysis of replicates). Finally, I'm planning on running ~50 replicates of K = 2 to K = 20 with 10-fold cross-validation (yes, this is will take a while) to get a good sense of the "best" K's. The reality is that most people probably are only interested in the "most informative" K, +/- 1, so there's no need for everyone to run K ...
