An allele-sharing, moment-based estimator of global, population-specific and population-pair FST under a general model of population structure.

Abstract excerpt

Being able to properly quantify genetic differentiation is key to understanding the evolutionary potential of a species. One central parameter in this context is FST, the mean coancestry within populations relative to the mean coancestry between populations. Researchers have been estimating FST globally or between pairs of populations for a long time. More recently, it has been proposed to estimate...
