Mean d(2) and divergence time: transformations and standardizations.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Neff B D

Abstract excerpt

The fitness consequences of inbreeding and outbreeding have intrigued biologists for a long time. Recently a measure of relatedness of parental haplotypes has been proposed called mean d(2). This measure is based on a stepwise mutational process and therefore is tailored to microsatellite genetic markers. Theoretical work suggests that mean d(2) typically is less suited for measuring fitness consequences due to...
