A Primer of Molecular Population Genetics

A Primer of Molecular Population Genetics, 1 is a comprehensive biology reference published by Oxford University Press. Description By Asher D. Cutter What are the genomic signatures of adaptations in DNA?

Key Features

- What are the genomic signatures of adaptations in DNA?
- How often does natural selection dictate changes to DNA?
- How does the ebb and flow in the abundance of individuals over time get marked onto chromosomes to record genetic history?
- Molecular population genetics seeks to answer suchquestions by explaining genetic variation and molecular evolution from micro-evolutionary principles
- It provides a way to learn about how evolution works and how it shapes species by incorporating molecular details of DNA as the heritable material
- It enables us to understand the logic of howmutations originate, change in abundance in populations, and become fixed as DNA sequence divergence between species
- With the revolutionary advances in genomic data acquisition, understanding molecular population genetics is now a fundamental requirement for today's life scientists
