Genetic draft, selective interference, and population genetics of rapid adaptation [PDF]
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics Vol. 44:
195-215, 2013, 2013 To learn about the past from a sample of genomic sequences, one needs to understand how evolutionary processes shape genetic diversity. Most population genetic inference is based on frameworks assuming adaptive evolution is rare. But if positive selection operates on many loci simultaneously, as has recently been suggested for many species including ...

From Understanding Genetic Drift to a Smart-Restart Parameter-less Compact Genetic Algorithm [PDF]
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO 2020, pages
805-813. ACM. 2020, 2020 One of the key difficulties in using estimation-of-distribution algorithms is choosing the population size(s) appropriately: Too small values lead to genetic drift, which can cause enormous difficulties. In the regime with no genetic drift, however, often the runtime is roughly proportional to the population size, which renders large population sizes ...

pegas: an R package for population genetics with an integrated-modular approach
Bioinform., 2010 SUMMARY pegas (Population and Evolutionary Genetics Analysis System) is a new package for the analysis of population genetic data. It is written in R and is integrated with two other existing R packages (ape and adegenet).

8 The population genetics of the haemoglobinopathies
Baillière's Clinical Haematology, 1993 The haemoglobinopathies are the commonest single gene disorders known, and are so common in some regions of the world that the majority of the population carries at least one genetic abnormality affecting the structure or synthesis of the haemoglobin molecule. The prevalence of the common haemoglobinopathies (the alpha- and beta-thalassaemias, HbS, HbC

Population genetics of forest trees.
Silva Fennica, 1982 The publication comprises proceedings of a conference held in Helsinki in 1981. Forest tree populations are investigated for population genetic structure, mating systems, mechanisms of genetic adaptation and ecological adaptation.

FinnGen provides genetic insights from a well-phenotyped isolated population
Nature, 2023 Genome-wide association studies of individuals from an isolated population (data from the Finnish biobank study FinnGen) and consequent meta-analyses facilitate the identification of previously unknown coding variant associations for both rare and common

Mantel test in population genetics
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2013 The comparison of genetic divergence or genetic distances, estimated by pairwise F ST and related statistics, with geographical distances by Mantel test is one of the most popular approaches to evaluate spatial processes driving population structure ...
