The estimation of population differentiation with microsatellite markers.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2002

Balloux François, Lugon-Moulin Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite markers are routinely used to investigate the genetic structuring of natural populations. The knowledge of how genetic variation is partitioned among populations may have important implications not only in evolutionary biology and ecology, but also in conservation biology. Hence, reliable estimates of population differentiation are crucial to understand the connectivity among populations and...
