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 ...

and population-based approaches toward races or human genetic diversity. The postwar time is often understood as a watershed in this respect. My argument is that typological and population-based race ...

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 ...

Geographical Genetics (MPB-38) Bryan K. Epperson Population genetics has made great strides in applying statistical analysis and mathematical modeling to understand how genes mutate and spread through ...

When research tells us that our grandparents' diets can affect our health decades later, it can be hard to shake the feeling ...

So we used southern white rhinos as a benchmark or metric of a healthy enough population. And so then we asked, "Well, do the ...

This chapter introduces fundamental concepts of population and evolutionary genetics such as genetic drift, population structure and the various types of selection, and how we can infer their action ...

High genetic diversity in RNA viruses contributes to their rapid adaptation to environmental stresses, including disinfection ...

Though early in the journey, TriHealth's transformation is already making a difference in how the health system delivers and ...

What these models have shown is that the source of genetic diversity that we have in these cells is enough to restore a healthy population. But in order to restore a healthy population ...
