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 ...

EvolGenius is a two-locus population genetics simulation written for use in undergraduate courses. Often, we use simulations without really thinking about how they recreate a process. But ...

New research has revealed an incredible discovery: modern humans carry 20% of their genetic material from a mysterious ...

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 ...

For over two decades, Dr. Jonathan Haines has studied genetic factors that contribute to diseases of aging and “successful” aging in the Old Order Amish. A growing health concern in the US population ...

Since language is an established proxy for genetic diversity in the Indian population, sampling was done to appropriately represent the four large major language families as well — Indo-European ...
