Genetics in geographically structured populations: defining, estimating and interpreting F(ST).

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Sept 2009

Holsinger Kent E, Weir Bruce S

Abstract excerpt

Wright's F-statistics, and especially F(ST), provide important insights into the evolutionary processes that influence the structure of genetic variation within and among populations, and they are among the most widely used descriptive statistics in population and evolutionary genetics. Estimates of F(ST) can identify regions of the genome that have been the target of selection, and comparisons of F(ST) from...
