An explanation of the study of haplotype diversity (Hd). Hd is measured by calculating the frequency of different haplotypes (genetically distinct sets of genes defined here by single nucleotide polymorphisms). The measurement of Hd and the frequency distribution of haplotypes can provide information on the genetic diversity of the population, the presence of speciation and demographic patterns.
