Abstract:The field of population genetics attempts to advance our understanding of evolutionary processes. It has applications, for example, in medical research, wildlife conservation, and - in conjunction with recent advances in ancient DNA sequencing technology - studying human migration patterns over the past few thousand years. The basic toolbox of population genetics includes genealogical tress, which describe the shared evolutionary history among individuals of the same species. They are calculated on the basis o… Show more
