A novel measure of genetic distance for highly polymorphic tandem repeat loci.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 1995

Abstract excerpt

Genetic distance measures are indicators of relatedness among populations or species and are useful for reconstructing the historic and phylogenetic relationships among such groups. Classical measures of genetic distance were developed to analyze biochemical and serological polymorphisms, systems which generally show limited variability. However, these traditional measures of genetic distance are inadequate for...
