A comparison of biallelic markers and microsatellites for the estimation of population and conservation genetic parameters in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).

Abstract excerpt

Biallelic markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion/deletion polymorphisms have become increasingly popular markers for various population genetics applications. However, the effort required to develop biallelic markers in nonmodel organisms is still substantial. In this study, we compared the estimation of various population genetic parameters (genetic divergence and structuring,...
