Tests for clonality applied to the three-locus typing datasets
| Criterion | Human | Livestock | Cat | Dog |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identical genotypes widespread (d) |
<10-9 |
10-6 |
10-4 |
10-9 |
| Absence of recombinant genotypes (e) |
<10-4 |
<10-4 |
<10-4 |
<10-4 |
| Linkage disequilibrium (f) |
0.38* |
0.24* |
0.38* |
0.42* |
| Index of association (IA) | 1.8 ± 0.00 | 2.0 ± 0.02 | 2.0 ± 0.04 | 1.5 ± 0.02 |
* P value < 10-4. Italic letters in parentheses corresponds to the same tests in [43]. IA-values which are significantly different from zero indicates that recombination has been rare or absent.
