Title: The gene flow of population genetic structure
Abstract: The difference of population genetic structure is one of the important embodiments of genetic diversity.
There is a long history of the study of population genetic structure, and the study of gene flow of population genetic
structure is aroused more and more importance. It has an irnportant effect on population genetics, evolution biology,
conservation biology and ecology. Although the level of gene flow is estimated by traditional population genetics,
there is a large restriction in its precision. With the development of biological technology, the methods of the re-
search on gene flow reach the molecular level. Methods of protein electrophoresis and molecular markers (RAPD, RFLP, VNTR, ISSR and mitochondrial DNA) are used to research gene flow among populations. This paper intro-
duces not only some models of population genetic structure: Continent-Island Model, Island Model, Stepping-Stone
Model, Isolation-By-Distance Model and Hierarchical Model; but also the study methods, function and role of gene
flow is based on models of population genetic structure, research achievements in recent years and the restriction of
the methods.
