Assessing parent numbers from offspring genotypes: the importance of marker polymorphism.

Abstract excerpt

Methods to infer parent numbers from offspring genotypes either determine the minimum number of parents required to explain alleles and multilocus genotypes detected in the offspring or use models to incorporate information on population allele frequencies and allele segregation. Disparate results by different approaches suggest that one or perhaps all methods are subject to bias. Here, we investigate the...
