Estimating the total number of alleles using a sample coverage method.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2001

Huang S P, Weir B S

Abstract excerpt

Previously reported methods for estimating the number of different alleles at a single locus in a population have not described a useful general result. Using the number of alleles observed in a sample gives an underestimate for the true number of alleles. The similar problem of estimating the number of species in a population was first investigated in 1943. In this article we use the sample coverage method...
