Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effective in detecting common alleles that contribute to the inherited component of common multifactorial diseases. Typically, the alleles identified by this ...

Consider a diploid population of N individuals undergoing random mating and mutation as in the infinite-allele Wright model. Choose a particular gene in generation Q for large Q, and let ft(0≤ t ≤ Q) ...

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

ABSTRACT: Understanding the processes that develop and maintain diversity in coastal communities is an important challenge, particularly given the conservation and management needs of these ecosystems ...
