Genetic drift shapes the evolution of a highly dynamic metapopulation [PDF]

open access: yesMol Biol Evol, 2022
The dynamics of extinction and (re)colonization in habitat patches are common features of metapopulations, causing them to evolve differently than large, stable populations.

Drift, selection, or migration? Processes affecting genetic differentiation and variation along a latitudinal gradient in an amphibian

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background Past events like fluctuations in population size and post-glacial colonization processes may influence the relative importance of genetic drift, migration and selection when determining the present day patterns of genetic variation.

From understanding genetic drift to a smart-restart parameter-less compact genetic algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, 2020
One of the key difficulties in using estimation-of-distribution algorithms is choosing the population sizes appropriately: Too small values lead to genetic drift, which can cause enormous difficulties.

Genetic drift of HIV populations in culture. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2009
Populations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) undergo a surprisingly large amount of genetic drift in infected patients despite very large population sizes, which are predicted to be mostly deterministic. Several models have been proposed to

Effects of multiple sources of genetic drift on pathogen variation within hosts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2018
Changes in pathogen genetic variation within hosts alter the severity and spread of infectious diseases, with important implications for clinical disease and public health.
