Analysis of Molecular Variance is a method for analysing population variation using molecular data.

It may be used on RFLP, RAPD, protein or allozyme data.

A variety of distance metrics may be used for establishing distances between pairs of chromosomes but AMOVA is strictly valid for squared Euclidean distances only.

AMOVA assumes that the restriction sites, RAPD markers, or allozymes are independent.

AMOVA provides a way of estimating Phi statistics which are an extension of Wright's F statistics.
