Insertion-deletion markers (InDels) have rapidly emerged as a robust alternative to conventional short tandem repeats in both forensic science and population genetics. Owing to their biallelic nature, ...

Because of natural selection, different alleles are more likely to confer a survival advantage in different environments. Cycles of infectious disease prevalence and virulence often reflect natural ...
