By analyzing the genetic material of thousands of ancient humans, researchers have mapped how natural selection influenced ...

Genes make us who we are—but are they shaped by chance, natural selection, or something else?

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed and validated an approach for the joint inference of measurement noise and genetic drift by analyzing time-series data ...

Basic concepts in population genetics, including nucleotide diversity, random genetic drift, effective population size, coalescent theory, time to common ancestor, site frequency spectrum, linkage ...
