Abstract: Bulk sampling and subsequent DNA fingerprinting are applied to
obtain estimated allelic frequency data and unveil population structure for
outbreeding species. We developed ‘Gametes Simulator’, a routine to simulate
gametes from allelic frequencies of unlinked loci, which enables the analysis of
population structure through Bayesian analysis. Based on the allelic frequencies
in the populations, the software simulates the alleles per population in the
right proportions and assigns one allele per marker to each gamete following
Mendel’s laws that govern gametogenesis.
