Slide 110:
ese values are calculated per locus, because each locus is a sample of
what is happening at this level of genetic dierentiation and substructuring
within populations. When the values are negative that simply means that
there was an excess of heterozygotes, when compared to Hardy-Weinberg
expectations. ese are most likely to be sampling eects. We then take these
values per locus and we average across all 13 CODIS loci. If we look across
the populations at all loci, nearly none of them even comes close to 0.01, the
exception being Native American populations.
Slide 111:
e remaining CODIS loci, again, the same repeats itself. When we take
the average we can see that using a theta va ...
