Assessing Genetic Diversity in Plants with Synthetic Tandem Repetitive DNA Probes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Stadler Genetics Symposia Series ((SGSS))

Abstract

The palette of molecular techniques available to population biologists is extensive (Avise, 1994), and is growing richer at a rapid pace. Although all of these techniques offer various perspectives in population biology investigations, no one of them is optimally applicable in all situations, and two different molecular techniques employed to examine the same question may produce different answers (e.g., allozymes versus DNA data; see Avise, 1994; Mitton, 1994). Such differences in informativeness among different molecular approaches most likely arise from the different evolutionary rates of, and forces upon, different portions of genomes. Discrepancies should not necessarily prompt the acceptance of one technique over another, but rather, potentially offer new insights into evolutionary processes. In fact, given that such discrepancies have commonly been found, it seems reasonable that investigations of population biology issues would profit from being examined from at least two independent, relevant approaches to seek compatible interpretations.
