[R] DNA sequence Fst

[Tim Gruene]

Hello Blue Ray,

I have worked with DNA, but frankly I do not know what Fst, Heterozygosity and
"such summary statistics" might be.

If you could explain a little, maybe even give a reference about their meaning
and how to do the calculations, people who are not biologists but know R might
be able to give you advice, increasing the probability of being answered :-)
