The application and performance of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for population genetic analyses of Lepidoptera

Microsatellite markers are difficult to apply within lepidopteran studies due to the lack of locus-specific PCR amplification and the high proportion of null alleles, such that erroneous estimations of population genetic parameters often result. Herein single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers a...
