Physical properties of VNTR data, and their impact on a test of allelic independence.

Abstract excerpt

In this article we describe the physical properties of VNTR data, as well as their effects on the two-dimensional distribution of fragment pairs. Tests of independence of alleles at a locus may confound those physical properties with allele independence. A recently proposed test by Geisser and Johnson is an example. We show that alleles can be strictly independent, yet the proposed test suggests large violations...
