Chloroplast microsatellites as a tool for phylogeographic studies: the case of white oaks in Poland
Assessing the distribution of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) haplotype variation is useful for studying the phylogeography of angiosperms.In the last two decades the cpDNA phylogeography of white oaks in Europe has been extensively studied, mostly based on the PCR-RFLP technique.However, PCR-RFLPs have low mutation PARA-RID rates and are primarily useful
