The efficacy of short tandem repeat polymorphisms versus single-nucleotide polymorphisms for resolving population structure.

yes

Text

In this study we investigate the power of SNPs in detecting population substructure using results from STRPs as the gold standard. We first investigate the number of SNPs that are required to obtain results comparable to those of STRPs. Second, we determine whether lower or higher frequency SNPs provide more information regarding population structure.
