Abstract excerpt

Apparent departure from equilibrium of genetic parameters measured for multiallelic single-locus markers such as VNTR (variable number of tandem repeat) loci has been suggested as evidence of underlying heterogeneity of the tested population. Using allele frequency distributions at eight VNTR loc...
