Determining the Polymorphism Information Content of a molecular marker
Abstract
This review was carried out with the purpose of contributing to the discussion on the equations used in calculating the Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) of molecular markers. PIC measures the ability of a marker to detect polymorphisms, and therefore has enormous importance in selecting markers for genetic studies. We perform a summary analysis of PIC and its difference in relation to heterozygosity, another parameter used to evaluate the quality of a marker, presenting and discussing the several equations registered in the literature for both dominant and codominant markers. Finally, we present a brief direction on estimating PIC for dominant markers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
