Abstract:
Allelic count is an important measure of genetic diversity, but it is a function of sample size. This size-dependent property may not only introduce bias in its estimation, but also cause difficulty in testing the significance of its difference between samples. Here we present a sas routine of random permutation that can assist in the assessment of allelic count differences among groups of variable size. An example is given to examine the statistical significance of the differences in allelic count among eight breeding periods of Canadian oat cultivars.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
