[A metric based on Malecot's parameters of isolation by distance as a characteristics of genetic similarity of populations].
A new metric based on Malecot's parameters of isolation by distance is proposed for estimation of genetic similarity between populations. This metric is in good agreement with the angular metric used for estimation of interpopulation genetic distances. It is suggested to term the new metric Malecot's metric.
