In my research study i have to select the best primers out of 17 primers used. here two criteria were taken by previous researchers. Out of that which one is most suitable. PIC value or Shannon index?
Dear Herath
ISSR is a dominant marker and Estimates heterozygosity can not be possible. So, if Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium calculated, there is an error.
Shone index is not sensitive to the error of dominant markers. there Shone index is used for diversity estimate when we have a dominant markers data.
PIC is an index to detect efficiency of Primers polymorphism. base on PIC you can found out the amount of Polymorphism information.
Finally, Shone index and PIC are two different factors.
Thanks for your comment Mostafa Haghpanah.
I found both forms in research articles. what is the correct way of writing?
