Impact of amplified fragment length polymorphism size homoplasy on the estimation of population genetic diversity and the detection of selective loci.

Abstract excerpt

AFLP markers are becoming one of the most popular tools for genetic analysis in the fields of evolutionary genetics and ecology and conservation of genetic resources. The technique combines a high-information content and fidelity with the possibility of carrying out genomewide scans. However, a potential problem with this technique is the lack of homology of bands with the same electrophoretic mobility, what is...
