Abstract excerpt
Many plants and some animal species are polyploids. Nondisomically inherited markers (e.g. microsatellites) in such species cannot be analysed directly by standard population genetics methods developed for diploid species. One solution is to transform the polyploid codominant genotypes to pseudodiploid-dominant genotypes, which can then be analysed by standard methods for various purposes such as spatial genetic...
