Therefore, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes an idealized state of a population, and genetic variations in nature can be measured as changes from this ideal. The Hardy-Weinberg equation is ...

Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that the critically endangered regent honeyeater faces hidden genetic ...

The founder effect is an extreme example of "genetic drift." Genes occurring at a certain frequency in the larger population will occur at a different frequency -- more or less often -- in a ...

Basic concepts in population genetics, including nucleotide diversity, random genetic drift, effective population size, coalescent theory, time to common ancestor, site frequency spectrum, linkage ...

Bradburd's work is answering a call from the National Academy of Sciences, urging researchers working on human population genetics to move away from race-based labels. While the sociological realities ...

"This population would later contribute about 80% of the genetic material of modern humans, and also seems to have been the ancestral population from which Neanderthals and Denisovans diverged." ...

Our two main topics are multivariate models for associating quantitative / discrete / survival outcomes to genomic data and population genetics in Finland.
