comparison of divergence with different markers

I simply want to compare genetic divergence between two populations using two different marker types, microsatellites and snps. What would be a suggested approach? I realize there are probably several ways to go about this, but any general idea would be great. Thanks.

Fst is a good measure of differentiation between populations

As @microfuge mentioned, Fst between populations is a good measure. Also, try structure program, it gives an idea about gene flow between populations and also calculates genetic distance between populations.

  • Fst (as above) and other F statistics, including their allelic analogs
  • uncorrected genetic distances
  • corrected genetic distances
  • IM/IMa/IMa2
  • Migrate
  • LAMARCK

among many others.
