With recent technological advances, vast quantities of genetic and
genomic data are being generated at an ever-increasing pace. The
explosion in access to data has transformed the field of
evolutionary genetics. A thorough understanding of evolutionary
principles is essential for making sense of this, but new skill
sets are also needed to handle and analyze big data. This
contemporary textbook covers all the major components of modern
evolutionary genetics, carefully explaining fundamental processes
such as mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and speciation.
It also draws on a rich literature of exciting and inspiring
examples to demonstrate the diversity of evolutionary research,
including an emphasis on how evolution and selection has shaped our
own species. Practical experience is essential for developing an
understanding of how to use genetic and genomic data to analyze and
interpret results in meaningful ways. In addition to the main text,
a series of online tutorials using the R language serves as an
introduction to programming, statistics, and analysis. Indeed the R
environment stands out as an ideal all-purpose source platform to
handle and analyze such data. The book and its online materials
take full advantage of the authors' own experience in working in a
post-genomic revolution world, and introduces readers to the
plethora of molecular and analytical methods that have only
recently become available. Evolutionary Genetics is an advanced but
accessible textbook aimed principally at students of various levels
(from undergraduate to postgraduate) but also for researchers
looking for an updated introduction to modern evolutionary biology
and genetics.
