Q(ST)-F(ST) comparisons: evolutionary and ecological insights from genomic heterogeneity.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Mar 2013

Leinonen Tuomas, McCairns R J Scott, O'Hara Robert B, Merilä Juha

Abstract excerpt

Comparative studies of the divergence of quantitative traits and neutral molecular markers, known as Q(ST)-F(ST) comparisons, provide a means for researchers to distinguish between natural selection and genetic drift as causes of population differentiation in complex polygenic traits. The use of Q(ST)-F(ST) comparisons has increased rapidly in the last few years, highlighting the utility of this approach for...
