Polymorphism index:

·       Polymorphism Information Index (PIC) or Nei's diversity index is calculated as 1 – Σ (allele frequency)2 based upon the unique genotypes.

 
 
·             Allelic diversity (h) = 1 – [n/(n-1)]  Σi  xi 2 where xi is the frequency of the ith allele at the locus and n the number of isolates
