Population Genomics With R presents a multidisciplinary approach to
the analysis of population genomics. The methods treated cover a
large number of topics from traditional population genetics to
large-scale genomics with high-throughput sequencing data. Several
dozen R packages are examined and integrated to provide a coherent
software environment with a wide range of computational,
statistical, and graphical tools. Small examples are used to
illustrate the basics and published data are used as case studies.
Readers are expected to have a basic knowledge of biology,
genetics, and statistical inference methods. Graduate students and
post-doctorate researchers will find resources to analyze their
population genetic and genomic data as well as help them design new
studies. The first four chapters review the basics of population
genomics, data acquisition, and the use of R to store and
manipulate genomic data. Chapter 5 treats the exploration of
genomic data, an important issue when analysing large data sets.
The other five chapters cover linkage disequilibrium, population
genomic structure, geographical structure, past demographic events,
and natural selection. These chapters include supervised and
unsupervised methods, admixture analysis, an in-depth treatment of
multivariate methods, and advice on how to handle GIS data. The
analysis of natural selection, a traditional issue in evolutionary
biology, has known a revival with modern population genomic data.
All chapters include exercises. Supplemental materials are
available on-line (http://ape-package.ird.fr/PGR.html).
