Abstract:
Sample sizes may greatly affect the accuracy of estimates of marker heterozygosities. Therefore, indicating the precision of these estimates is strongly recommended. A computer program HETMAX was written and used to obtain unbiased estimates of heterozygosity, their standard errors and unit support intervals, based on a subset of GAW9 data. The accuracy of the estimates and the associated sample sizes are presented.
