要旨:
We have evaluated a pooling approach that can reduce the number of polymerase chain reactions in a screen for selective sweeps by more than an order of magnitude. We show that the complex peak pattern that results from pooling of all samples from a given population is a faithful reflection of the composite pattern of the individual alleles, although with an under-representation of the larger alleles. Candidate loci for selective sweeps can be identified by visual inspection of the pool patterns. We have also implemented a software tool, which can find suitable microsatellite loci in the vicinity of annotated genes.
