Pairwise genetic/epigenetic distance between samples grown in vitro and those grown in the field from each variety were calculated using MSAP profiles obtained by restricting gDNA from five cultivars of cassava with EcoRI and HpaII or MspI using GenAlex 6.5.1 AMOVA. p-values were calculated based on 1000 permutations.
