Description for Theories of Population Variation in Genes and Genomes
Hardback. Gives an introduction to both classical and coalescent approaches to population genetics. This book focuses on the theoretical background of population genetics, while emphasizing the close interplay between theory and empiricism. It provides a coverage of coalescent theory, and includes end-of-chapter exercises. Series: Princeton Series in Theoretical and Computational Biology. Num Pages: 432 pages, 100 color illus. 100 line illus. 46 tables. BIC Classification: PSAK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 260 x 183 x 31. Weight in Grams: 1462.
This textbook provides an authoritative introduction to both classical and coalescent approaches to population genetics. Written for graduate students and advanced undergraduates by one of the world's leading authorities in the field, the book focuses on the theoretical background of population genetics, while emphasizing the close interplay between theory and empiricism. Traditional topics such as genetic and phenotypic variation, mutation, migration, and linkage are covered and advanced by contemporary coalescent theory, which describes the genealogy of genes in a population, ultimately connecting them to a single common ancestor. Effects of selection, particularly genomic effects, are discussed with reference to molecular ... Read more

Reviews for Theories of Population Variation in Genes and Genomes
"This very well-written book is challenging, but rewarding. Motivated readers will understand the dynamic nature of genetic variation in populations."
