| How gene frequencies change over time within and between finite sized populations and addresses the causes of evolution - namely selection, mutation and genetic drift. A molecular perspective is used where appropriate. Although population genetics is amenable to mathematical analysis, this unit focuses more on concepts and models rather than on detailed mathematical analysis. The flow of genes between populations in conjunction with analysis of DNA and proteins sequences is a rapidly advancing field of science with many important applications. |
