What it calculates
The “Genetic Diversity” calculator computes Expected heterozygosity He in % from 5 parameters: allele 1: copy count, allele 2: copy count, allele 3: copy count, allele 4: copy count, allele 5: copy count.
A lab calculation in biology and molecular biology.
Example calculation
With parameters Allele 1: copy count = 40, Allele 2: copy count = 30, Allele 3: copy count = 20, Allele 4: copy count = 10, Allele 5: copy count = 0 the result is 70 %.
How to use
- Enter allele 1: copy count, allele 2: copy count, allele 3: copy count, allele 4: copy count and allele 5: copy count — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
- Expected heterozygosity He (%) is calculated automatically as you type.
