Moment estimation of population diversity and genetic distance from data on recessive markers.

Abstract excerpt

A moment-based method for estimating a measure of population diversity, theta or Wright's FST, is given for dominant markers such as amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) or RAPDs in noninbred populations. Basic assumptions are that there is random mating, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, linkage equilibrium, no mutation from common ancestor and equally distant populations. It is based on the variances...
