Estimating relatedness and relationships using microsatellite loci with null alleles.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2006

Wagner A P, Creel S, Kalinowski S T

Abstract excerpt

Relatedness is often estimated from microsatellite genotypes that include null alleles. When null alleles are present, observed genotypes represent one of several possible true genotypes. If null alleles are detected, but analyses do not adjust for their presence (ie, observed genotypes are treated as true genotypes), then estimates of relatedness and relationship can be incorrect. The number of loci available in...
