OverviewThis 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 genetic variation. The book is designed for students of population genetics, bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, molecular evolution, and theoretical biology--as well as biologists, molecular biologists, breeders, biomathematicians, and biostatisticians.* Contains up-to-date treatment of key areas in classical and modern theoretical population genetics * Provides in-depth coverage of coalescent theory * Discusses genomic effects of selection * Gives examples from empirical population genetics * Incorporates figures, diagrams, and boxed features throughout * Includes end-of-chapter exercises * Speaks to a wide range of students in biology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics Full Product DetailsAuthor: Freddy Bugge ChristiansenPublisher: Princeton University Press Imprint: Princeton University Press Volume: 4 Dimensions: Width: 17.80cm , Height: 2.20cm , Length: 25.40cm Weight: 0.482kg ISBN: 9780691165899ISBN 10: 0691165890 Pages: 432 Publication Date: 23 November 2014 Audience: Professional and scholarly , College/higher education , Professional & Vocational , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand  We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier. Language: English Table of ContentsReviews"""This very well-written book is challenging, but rewarding. Motivated readers will understand the dynamic nature of genetic variation in populations.""--Richard M. Kijman, Quarterly Review of Biology ""I applaud the primary goal of this book, that is, to present basic genetic and population genetic concepts to future researchers in genomics and bioinformatics. I think that understanding the core evolutionary framework is essential for successful analysis and interpretation of contemporary genetic data.""--Phil Hedrick, Journal of Heredity" This very well-written book is challenging, but rewarding.
