Testing for spatially divergent selection: comparing QST to FST.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2009

Whitlock Michael C, Guillaume Frederic

Abstract excerpt

Q(ST) is a standardized measure of the genetic differentiation of a quantitative trait among populations. The distribution of Q(ST)'s for neutral traits can be predicted from the F(ST) for neutral marker loci. To test for the neutral differentiation of a quantitative trait among populations, it is necessary to ask whether the Q(ST) of that trait is in the tail of the probability distribution of neutral traits....
