An Introduction to Population Genetics - Rasmus Nielsen and Montgomery Slatkin

Special Features

A comprehensive guide to the field - this text provides students with an accessible resource rather than having them piece together information from books, reviews, and primary research articles.
Focuses on the analysis of DNA sequence data collected from natural populations, reviewing the logic and assumptions behind commonly used methods.
Covers the methods and tools used in the field to study recombination, population structure, natural selection, and demographic history.
A key resource for understanding the interpretation of molecular variation, this text provides an introduction to the basic ways in which molecular variation is summarized. (Ch. 3)
