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 ...

Despite this dramatic reduction in population, the regent honeyeater still shows relatively high genetic diversity in standard assessments. This unintuitive result makes it an ideal case for studying ...

The recent union of molecular genetic methods and ecology ... even among individuals within a population. Thus, DNA sequencing is ideal for determining the evolutionary history of a group of ...

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

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 ...

She has found that melanocyte stem cells are an ideal somatic stem cell population to investigate the cell biology, genetics, and genomics behind the questions, “Why do we age the way we do?”, and ...

"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." ...

The Finnish population is one of the most genetically studied in the world. A relatively small number of founder individuals and strong genetic isolation over centuries have shaped the unique genetic ...

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

Despite this dramatic reduction in population, the regent honeyeater still shows relatively high genetic diversity in standard assessments. This unintuitive result makes it an ideal case for ...
