Population genomics is a recently emerged discipline, which aims at
understanding how evolutionary processes influence genetic
variation across genomes. Today, in the era of cheaper
next-generation sequencing, it is no longer as daunting to obtain
whole genome data for any species of interest and population
genomics is now conceivable in a wide range of fields, from
medicine and pharmacology to ecology and evolutionary biology.
However, because of the lack of reference genome and of enough a
priori data on the polymorphism, population genomics analyses of
populations will still involve higher constraints for researchers
working on non-model organisms, as regards the choice of the
genotyping/sequencing technique or that of the analysis methods.
Therefore, Data Production and Analysis in Population Genomics
purposely puts emphasis on protocols and methods that are
applicable to species where genomic resources are still scarce. It
is divided into three convenient sections, each one tackling one of
the main challenges facing scientists setting up a population
genomics study. The first section helps devising a sampling and/or
experimental design suitable to address the biological question of
interest. The second section addresses how to implement the best
genotyping or sequencing method to obtain the required data given
the time and cost constraints as well as the other genetic
resources already available, Finally, the last section is about
making the most of the (generally huge) dataset produced by using
appropriate analysis methods in order to reach a biologically
relevant conclusion. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular
Biology (TM) series format, chapters include introductions to their
respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, advice on methodology
and implementation, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known
pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Data Production and
Analysis in Population Genomics serves a wide readership by
providing guidelines to help choose and implement the best
experimental or analytical strategy for a given purpose.
