DNA profile similarity in a subdivided population.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Li C C, Chakravarti A

Abstract excerpt

There is considerable debate regarding the effect of population subdivision (heterogeneity) on the probability of a chance or coincidental match between two DNA samples studied with respect to multiple, polymorphic genetic markers. We have theoretically investigated the relationship between the average similarity between two randomly chosen DNA samples and the probability of an identical match between these...
