A generic estimation of population subdivision using distances between alleles with special reference for microsatellite loci.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1996

Michalakis Y, Excoffier L

Abstract excerpt

Several estimators of population differentiation have been proposed in the recent past to deal with various types of genetic markers (i.e., allozymes, nucleotide sequences, restriction fragment length polymorphisms, or microsatellites). We discuss the relationships among these estimators and show...
