A correction for allele frequency estimates derived from isofemale lines.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Feb 1993

Long A D

Abstract excerpt

Isofemale lines are commonly used in Drosophila and other genera for the purpose of assaying genetic variation. Isofemale lines can be kept in the laboratory for many generations before genetic work is carried out, and permit the confirmation of newly discovered alleles. A problem not realized by many workers is that the commonly used estimate of allele frequency from these lines is biased. This estimation bias...
