| Summary: | Abstract This chapter addresses different approaches to quantifying genetic divergence between populations. It discusses the concept of “missing heterozygosity” and uses this to quantify the level of divergence between two populations with a measure called FST. The chapter works through how to determine a population of origin from blue whale data and touches on the concept of DNA fingerprinting to identify individuals. |
