From: Assessing the reliability of eBURST using simulated populations with known ancestry

Simple tests for populations in which eBURST is likely to be unreliable

   1) Display population snapshot – is there a single large straggly group?

   2) Display undrawn SLV links – are there long range SLV links across this group?

   3) Calculate proportion of STs in the largest group – is it greater than 25%?

If the answer to all three questions is yes, then there is probably a high rate of recombination compared to mutation and the performance of eBURST will be poor.
