Abstract
The present invention is primarily directed to methods of genetic cluster analysis for use in determining the homogeneity and/or heterogeneity of a population or sub-population. Determination of the heterogeneity or homogeneity of a population sample is important in many areas including DNA fingerprinting in forensics and population-based studies such as clinical trials, case-control studies of risk factors, and gene mapping studies.
