Independence of VNTR alleles defined as floating bins.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Nov 1992

Weir B S

Abstract excerpt

Data bases of VNTR fragments determined for Caucasians and blacks by Cellmark Diagnostics and Lifecodes Corporation are analyzed for independence of variants within and between loci. Floating bins are constructed around specific fragment lengths and are used to define discrete genotypes. Simple chi 2 test statistics for independence of bins within and between loci are described and applied to large sets of...
