Microsatellites have been popular molecular markers ever since their advent in the late
eighties. Despite growing competition from new genotyping and sequencing techniques, the …

Although genotyping errors affect most data and can markedly influence the biological
conclusions of a study, they are too often neglected. Errors have various causes, but their …

Recent improvements in genetic analysis and genotyping methods have resulted in a rapid
expansion of the power of molecular markers to address ecological questions …

Noninvasive genetic sampling provides great potential for research and management
applications in wildlife biology. Researchers can obtain DNA from a variety of sources …

The use of molecular techniques for parentage analysis has been a booming science for
over a decade. The most important technological breakthrough was the introduction of …

Noninvasive genetic approaches continue to improve studies in molecular ecology,
conservation genetics and related disciplines such as forensics and epidemiology …

Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), have long played a major role in
genetic studies due to their typically high polymorphism. They have diverse applications …

As genotyping methods move ever closer to full automation, care must be taken to ensure
that there is no equivalent rise in allele‐calling error rates. One clear source of error lies with …

Genotypic frequencies at codominant marker loci in population samples convey information
on mating systems. A classical way to extract this information is to measure heterozygote …

Each year, hundreds of thousands of domesticated farmed Atlantic salmon escape into the
wild. In Norway, which is the world's largest commercial producer, many native Atlantic …
