Effects of microsatellite null alleles on assignment testing.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Carlsson Jens

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite null alleles are found to a varying degree across all taxa. They are problematic as they may inflate measures of genetic differentiation and create false homozygotes. Although there are several methods for correcting allele frequencies for null alleles and enable estimations of F(ST), much less is known about how null alleles affect assignment testing. Data presented here, based on simulations,...
