A clever solution to a vexing problem.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2015

Whitlock Michael C

Abstract excerpt

F(ST) (as well as related measures such as G(ST)) has long been used both as a measure of the relative amount of genetic variation between populations and as an indicator of the amount of gene flow among populations. Unfortunately, F(ST) and its clones are also sensitive to mutation, particularly when the mutation rate per locus is greater than the migration rate among populations. Relatively high mutation rates...
