Does GST underestimate genetic differentiation from marker data?

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2015

Wang J

Abstract excerpt

The widely applied genetic differentiation statistics F(ST) and G(ST) have recently been criticized for underestimating differentiation when applied to highly polymorphic markers such as microsatellites. New statistics claimed to be unaffected by marker polymorphisms have been proposed and advocated to replace the traditional F(ST) and G(ST). This study shows that G(ST) gives accurate estimates and underestimates...
