Population Genetics with Fluctuating Population Sizes [PDF]
Journal of statistical physics, 2016 Standard neutral population genetics theory with a strictly fixed population size has important limitations. An alternative model that allows independently fluctuating population sizes and reproduces the standard neutral evolution is reviewed.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Significant advances have been made to understand the genetic basis of breast cancer. High, moderate and low penetrance variants have been identified with inter-ethnic variability in mutation frequency and spectrum. Genome wide association studies (GWAS)

Explaining spatial heterogeneity in population dynamics and genetics from spatial variation in resources for a large herbivore. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fine-scale spatial variation in genetic relatedness and inbreeding occur across continuous distributions of several populations of vertebrates; however, the basis of observed variation is often left untested.

Limiting Genotype Frequencies of Y-Linked Genes with a Mutant Allele in a Two-Sex Population
Mathematics, 2021 A two-type two-sex branching process is considered to model the evolution of the number of carriers of an allele and its mutations of a Y-linked gene. The limiting growth rates of the different types of couples and males (depending on the allele, mutated

Interplay between extreme drift and selection intensities favors the fixation of beneficial mutations in selfing maize populations [PDF]
Genetics, 2020 Abstract Population and quantitative genetic models provide useful approximations to predict long-term selection responses sustaining phenotypic shifts, and underlying multilocus adaptive dynamics. Valid across a broad range of parameters, their use for understanding the adaptive dynamics of small selfing populations undergoing strong ...

Open Veterinary Science, 2021 This study aimed to investigate the genotypic distribution and population genetic parameters of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located on exon 3 at the FSHB gene in East Anatolian Red (EAR), East Anatolian Red×Holstein (EAR×H), and Zavot (Z ...

Evolutionary dynamics in fluctuating environment
Physical Review Research, 2020 Temporal environmental variations are ubiquitous in nature, yet most of the theoretical works in population genetics and evolution assume fixed environment.
