Polymorphic information content & Heterozygosity

This tool allows determining Polymorphic information content and Heterozygosity values. Users can select two types of marker (dominant or codominant). For codominant marker at first, users determine the number of alleles in the examined locus and then number or frequencies of alleles in the study group (sum of alleles frequencies must equal 1). For a dominant marker, PIC is counted only for a biallelic locus. Users need to fill number or frequency of amplified bands and number or frequency of absence bands in the study group.

In case of dominant marker, it is possible to count an approximate number of heterozygous individuals based on Hardy-Weinberg law (more information in Materials & Methods)!
