Abstract excerpt
This study presents an analysis of 20 tetranucleotide microsatellites in 16 worldwide human populations representing the major geographic groups. Global Fst values for the 20 microsatellites are indicators of their relative validity as tools in human population genetics. Four different measures of genetic distance (Fst, DSW, delta mu 2 and Rst) have been tested and compared with each other. Neighbor-joining trees...
