http://bowlingsite.mcf.com/Genetics/PopGenI.html

Extractions: Ordinary genetics looks at how one selects breeding stock to produce the best possible offspring. Population genetics looks at the statistical distribution of genes in a particular breeding population, such as a breed of dog, and how different kinds of selection can affect that gene distribution. (Increasingly, population genetics also involves looking at the relationship between species by using gene sequencing as a tool.) You can think of ordinary genetics as predicting the phenotypic makup of the next generation, while population genetics predicts the genetic makeup of the breed as a whole, often several generations away. This article is based on the assumption that the population is random breeding - an animal is equally likely to mate with any other animal in the population. This is obviously not really true - a dog in California is much more likely to mate with another California dog than with one in New York, a Great Dane is more likely to mate with another Great Dane than with a Papillion, and many breeders of domesticated animals practice deliberate breeding to relatively close relatives. We'll look at possible effects of this later on (if I get around to it). Random breeding with selection based on a single gene is the simplest case, with which other possibilities can be compared. Unfortunately, I'll have to use a little algebra to do this. I promise I'll try to explain the results in non-mathematical terms.

Extractions: Population Variability Deriving Genotypic and Allelic Frequencies Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Evolutionary Genetics Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection Speciation Study Questions ... Genetic Topics The unifying concept of population genetics is the Hardy-Weinberg Law (named after the two scientists who simultaneously discovered the law). The law predicts how gene frequencies will be transmitted from generation to generation given a specific set of assumptions. Specifically, Let's examine the assumptions and conclusions in more detail starting first with the assumptions. Infinitely large population - No such population actually exists, but does this necessarily negate the Hardy-Weinberg Law? NO!! The effect that is of concern is genetic drift. Genetic drift is a change in gene frequency that is the result of chance deviation from expected genotypic frequencies. This is a problem in small population, but is minimal in moderate sized or larger populations. Random mating - Random mating refers to matings in a population that occur in proportion to their genotypic frequencies. For example, if the genotypic frequencies in a population are MM=0.83, MN=0.16 and NN=0.01 then we would expect that 68.9% (0.83 x 0.83 X 100) of the matings would occur between MM individuals. If a significant deviation from this expected value occurred, then random mating did not happen in this population. If significant deviations occurred in the other matings (for example MM x MN or MN x NN), again the assumption of random mating will have been violated.

Extractions: HUMAN GENETICS for 1st YEAR STUDENTS Population genetics is also the most widely misused area of human genetics, sometimes bordering on "vigilante genetics," a term coined by Newton Morton. Persons have mistakenly applied population genetics to "prove" race superiority for intelligence and aptitudes, and have misused it in eugenics. As an educated and, I hope, a respected member of your community you must be alert to "vigilante genetics." Population genetics is concerned with gene and genotype frequencies, the factors that tend to keep them constant, and the factors that tend to change them in populations. It is largely concerned with the study of polymorphisms. It directly impacts counseling, forensic medicine, and genetic screening. Consider a population of 1000 individuals all typed for the simplest test at the MN blood group locus. At its most simplistic form this locus can be reduced to a codominant system with two alleles M and N. (In reality it is considerably more complex than this but this simple form will suffice for our examples.) Every individual in the population will be either M (having two M alleles), MN (heterozygous), or N (having two N alleles). Suppose the blood typing results were as follows: 300 M individuals, 600MN individuals, and 100 N individuals. You probably want to ask, "What is the gene frequency of the M allele in the above population of 1000 individuals?" I'm glad you're interested!

Population Genetics Made Simple

http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/genetics.html

Extractions: In order to understand discussions about evolution, even from a creationist viewpoint, it is helpful to have some background in population genetics. We give a brief survey of some of the points of population genetics most relevant for this purpose. The characteristics of organisms are determined by their genetic material (DNA), and random mutations (changes) in the DNA can result in slight changes in organisms. As these accumulate, there can be changes in organisms, resulting in evolution. Population genetics attempts to analyze this process mathematically. Harmful mutations result in organisms less likely to survive, and so these mutations tend to be eliminated from the population (group of organisms in a species). Beneficial mutations also tend to be eliminated by chance, but less often, and tend to be preserved. As these accumulate, the species can gradually adapt to its environment. Neutral mutations are generally eliminated, curiously, but sometimes can spread to the whole population. We then say that the mutation has fixed in the population. The rate of evolution is the rate at which mutations fix in the population. These can be either beneficial or neutral mutations. If the offspring have on the average one harmful mutation each, then the population will degenerate; this is called "error catastrophe." This puts a bound on how many non-neutral mutations can occur per generation. It cannot be much more than about one per generation, and in fact, it must be significantly less, since most non-neutral mutations are harmful.

http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/challenge11.html

Extractions: My purpose is not to refute evolution or prove creation. I don't think that either is possible, but prefer to reason based on the weight of evidence, which I believe is in favor of creation.. The simple (standard?) population genetics model in which beneficial mutations are not too rare and, when combined, are still beneficial, does not correspond to reality in all cases, as a number of considerations can show. And of course, this is undoubtedly no surprise to population geneticists. In fact, if beneficial mutations are not too rare and can always combine and remain beneficial, then under certain reasonable assumptions, one can show that a random genome would be better adapted than an existing organism. So we can say that a portion of the genome is tightly correlated (highly constrained) if separate mutations A and B in this portion combine as mentioned above. In such a tightly correlated region, mutations must accumulate sequentially. However, there may be more than one such region, and these regions may be independent of one another. Thus, the two regions could evolve independently, increasing the possible rate of evolution. There may also be loosely correlated (loosely constrained) regions of the genome. In the loosely correlated regions, beneficial mutations may be more numerous. Also, I imagine that in a tightly correlated region of the genome, the probability of a beneficial mutation is more like 1/1000 or one in a million, since each change is affecting so many other parts of the organism. This would probably lead to a rate of one beneficial mutation in about 10 or 20 generations, and probably many more generations would be required. If there were a number of tightly correlated regions, largely independent of each other, the rate of evolution could be greater. For example, lungs and legs could evolve in parallel. It is also possible that a tightly correlated region of the organism cannot evolve significantly at all. In a loosely constrained region of the genome, beneficial mutations may be much more common, and evolution could occur much faster.

Extractions: Back to Genetics Back to Evolution Back to Biostatistics Back to HLA ... Homepage BASIC POPULATION GENETICS M.Tevfik Dorak, M.D., Ph.D. G.H. Hardy (the English mathematician) and W. Weinberg (the German physician) independently worked out the mathematical basis of population genetics in 1908. Their formula predicts the expected genotype frequencies using the allele frequencies in a diploid Mendelian population. They were concerned with questions like "what happens to the frequencies of alleles in a population over time?" and "would you expect to see alleles disappear or become more frequent over time?" Hardy and Weinberg showed in the following manner that if the population is very large and random mating is taking place, allele frequencies remain unchanged (or in equilibrium) over time unless some other factors intervene. If the frequencies of allele A and a (of a biallelic locus) are p and q, then (p + q) = 1. This means (p + q = 1 too. It is also correct that (p + q = p + 2pq +q = 1. In this formula, p

Extractions: Collected here are a few simple simulations (written in Java) I use (or plan to use) when teaching principles of population genetics and population ecology in various courses. If you have suggestions for improving them or ideas for other simulations that might be useful, please contact me at kent@darwin.eeb.uconn.edu . I can't promise that I'll have the time to adopt any suggestions you make, but I promise that I'll consider them. Wahlund effect and F-statistics This applet illustrates the Wahlund effect and partitioning of genetic diversity for five populations. Users may select from a variety of allele frequency configurations and several different inbreeding coefficients within populations (all populations are assumed to have the same inbreeding coefficient). EM algorithm for ABO frequencies This applet illustrates the EM algorithm for estimating allele frequencies in the ABO blood system. Users may select from a variety of sample configurations (including random allocation of phenotypes with three different sample sizes) and several different starting guesses (including random frequencies). Results from each iteration are displayed, but only six iterations can be displayed simultaenously. Genetic drift This simulation illustrates how allele frequencies change over time as a result of genetic drift in small populations. Users may select from three different starting allele frequenciese (0.1, 0.5, 0.9), five different population sizes (10, 25, 50, 100, 250), and three different numbers of generations for the simulation (50, 100, 250). Results from up to eight simulations are displayed simultaneously in different colors.
