polygenic adaptation

Stephan W & John S 2020 Polygenic adaptation in a population of finite size. Entropy 22:907. in recent years, due to the advance of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), polygenic selection was studied using quantitative genetics models …

polygenic adaptation

John S & Stephan W 2020 Important role of genetic drift in rapid polygenic adaptation. Ecol Evol 10:1278-1287. it is not clear if adaptation can occur rapidly via such subtle changes in the allele frequencies we follow this direction here …

polygenic adaptation

Mathieson I 2020 Human adaptation over the past 40,000 years. Curr Opin Genet Dev 62:97-104. despite strong evidence of the polygenicity of most human traits, evidence for polygenic selection is weak its importance in recent human evolutio…

genealogy

Wakeley J 2020 Developments in coalescent theory from single loci to chromosomes. Theor Popul Biol 133:56-64. it took some time to understand the temporal structure behind Ewens' formula working at first outside population genetics, Kingma…

multiple loci

Bürger R 2020 Multilocus population-genetic theory. Theor Popul Biol 133:40-48. commentary in linkage equilibrium (LE), allele frequencies at different loci do not change independently the direction and intensity of selection on a particul…

evolutionary rescue
