[i] Ten different samples each of CEPH families 884 (A), 1340 (B), 1341 (C), and 1345 (D) were separated using GSP2. The average size (Av.) and standard deviation (s.d.) for a representative allele of five different loci were calculated. The number of alleles used for calculations per locus are indicated (N). Mean GSP (E) shows the average size and s.d. for all alleles across the four families. The same samples were reanalyzed, using POP-4b. Mean POP-4 (F) shows the average size and s.d. for all alleles across the four families. (N.A.) No comparable allele was found within this family.
