A Primer of Population Genetics and Genomics has been completely
revised and updated to provide a concise but comprehensive
introduction to the basic concepts of population genetics and
genomics. Recent textbooks have tended to focus on such specialized
topics as the coalescent, molecular evolution, human population
genetics, or genomics. This primer bucks that trend by encouraging
a broader familiarity with, and understanding of, population
genetics and genomics as a whole. The overview ranges from mating
systems through the causes of evolution, molecular population
genetics, and the genomics of complex traits. Interwoven are
discussions of ancient DNA, gene drive, landscape genetics,
identifying risk factors for complex diseases, the genomics of
adaptation and speciation, and other active areas of current
research. The principles are illuminated by numerous examples from
a wide variety of animals, plants, microbes, and human populations.
The approach also emphasizes learning by doing, which in this case
means solving numerical or conceptual problems. The rationale
behind this is that the use of concepts in problem-solving lead to
deeper understanding and longer knowledge retention. This
accessible, introductory textbook is aimed principally at students
of various levels and abilities (from senior undergraduate to
postgraduate) as well as practising scientists in the fields of
population genetics, ecology, evolutionary biology, computational
biology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, physics, and mathematics.
