Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis as a technique for examining gray squirrel population genetics

The use of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis to separate gray squirrel blood serum was investigated. Three sources of variation in the techniques were identified: (1) minor variation within-run; (2) variation across-run; (3) variation due to the sampling technique. The frequencies of the most anodal bands of 42 gray squirrel blood serum protein electropherograms were compared among several woodlots using chi-square contingency tables. On the basis of these frequencies, no differences were found among the woodlot populations of gray squirrels examined in this study.
