Integrating microsatellite data via locus-specific mode-shift harmonisation reveals circumpolar population structure in reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus).

Abstract excerpt

Reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) occupy a vast northern range spanning Eurasia and North America, where understanding population structure is essential for conservation and management. However, comparative analyses across this circumpolar distribution are hindered by systematic allele-size offsets introduced by differences in genotyping platforms, laboratory protocols, and allele-calling procedures. Here,...
