A statistical test for detecting geographic subdivision.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 1992

Hudson R R, Boos D D, Kaplan N L

Abstract excerpt

A statistical test for detecting genetic differentiation of subpopulations is described that uses molecular variation in samples of DNA sequences from two or more localities. The statistical significance of the test is determined with Monte Carlo simulations. The power of the test to detect genetic differentiation in a selectively neutral Wright-Fisher island model depends on both sample size and the rates of...
