Monte
Carlo Chi-square test ofgenetic
heterogeneity:
- among gyres P = 0.0000 + 0.000
- within Western NA:P = 0.0000 +- 0.0000
-within Eastern NA (Norwegian / Barents): P = 0.000 +- 0.000
-within Northern NA:P =
0.000 +- 0.000
The same type of
preliminary analysis is also done for 9 SNP sites in CS gene, hopefully
showing the regional differences among the samples. . The story is slightly
different with CS gene.
Preliminary analysis of allele frequencies at 9 SNP sites
in CS by Monte Carlo Chi-square test indicated significant population
genetic heterogeneity among regional samples (p = 0.0000 + 0.000) and
among pooled gyre samples
(p = 0.0000 + 0.000)
THE analysis did indicate
highly significant differences among samples and among gyres. However, we
did not see the genetic similarity within the western NA gyre this time
Unresolved regional scale
genetic heterogeneity, will need additional study. More saples to be
anaylzed
Differences between CS and
HSP may result from sampling; additional statistical analysis will help
resolve variation at regional and gyre scales
