Andrew T. Beckenbach, Associate Professor POPULATION GENETICS/MOLECULAR EVOLUTION Biological Sciences Simon Fraser University BSc. Florida Presbyterian College M.S. University of Florida Ph.D. University of California, Riverside Room SSB7153, (604) 291-3441 beckenba@sfu.ca Current Research Program My research is in the fields of population genetics and molecular evolution. The main focus is to understand the mechanisms of evolution at the molecular level. The approaches include both empirical studies of DNA sequence variation in vertebrates and selected invertebrate taxa and the theoretical analysis of sequence differences. Our work has primarily involved the mitochondrial genome for several reasons. In animals, it is small and extremely compact. A great deal of information on the mitochondrial genome is already available, including the complete sequences from more than 20 animal species. The genome is essentially haploid, present in many copies in cells and maternally inherited in most animal species. These features make it particularly easy to study and understand. The mitochondrial genome has been particularly useful in reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships among related species, and at higher taxonomic levels. Ultimately, however, adaptive evolution can be understood only through the study of the nuclear genome. Genetic variation among individuals of populations within species may be assessed by studying highly mutable genomic sequences, such as microsatellites. For phylogenetic analyses, above the species level, more conserved gene regions, such as those coding for protein products, must be analysed. We are conducting population level studies using analysis of mtDNA sequences and microsatellites, in an attempt to understand population structure and subdivision. Using mtDNA sequence comparisons, we are examining the phylogenetic relationships among species of Drosophila, as well as among families of true flies (Diptera) and the orders of insects.

Notes for Lecture #4: Population Genetics Hardy Weinberg You are visitor number since 23 Feb 1996 The best way to gain an understanding about drift (finite population size) and selection is to play around with them. Try different population sizes (e.g., 5 vs. 25 vs 100 vs 1000) and different survival probabilities in the Hardy-Weinberg simulator . This is a product of our good friends at the University of Chicago. By choosing summarize , one gets the distribution of final allele frequencies. Not choosing this gives the individual sample paths. Have fun! The marriage of Mendel and Darwin Heritable Variation How much genetic variation is there in natural populations? What are the properties of this variation? Darwin and Mendel A result of this was two different schools of the mechanism of evolution, which took nearly 20 years to be reconciled. Darwin assumed blending inheritance. The Stormy courtship: The Biometricians versus the Mendelians The Biometricians More concerned with the mechanisms of selection than the mechanisms of heritability. The Mendelians Lead by Bateson.

Fact: allele frequency = gene frequency = gametic frequency gene pool : the set of all alleles at all loci in a population. The Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium: The allele and genotypic frequencies remain the same from generation to generation in a population in which there is no mutation no genetic drift (i. e. the population size is infinitely large) no migration. random mating no selection. Moreover, the equilibrium genotype frequencies are given by p2: the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype 2pq: the frequency of the heterozygous genotype q2: the frequency of the recessive genotype. Frequencies for some alleles can be very close to the equilibrium values, such as in the case of the MN alleles in humans.

53. Jewish Population Genetics But the type and abundance of the lineages in each population serveas genetic signature by which to compare different populations. http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/genetics.htm

May 9, 2000 Y Chromosome Bears Witness to Story of the Jewish Diaspora By NICHOLAS WADE With a new technique based on the male or Y chromosome, biologists have traced the diaspora of Jewish populations from the dispersals that began in 586 B.C. to the modern communities of Europe and the Middle East. The analysis provides genetic witness that these communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. Another finding, paradoxical but unsurprising, is that by the yardstick of the Y chromosome, the world's Jewish communities closely resemble not only each other but also Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, suggesting that all are descended from a common ancestral population that inhabited the Middle East some four thousand years ago. Dr. Lawrence H. Schiffman, chairman of the department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University, said the study fit with historical evidence that Jews originated in the Near East and with biblical evidence suggesting that there were a variety of families and types in the original population. He said the finding would cause "a lot

30 March 2000 Nature Ancient DNA: Neanderthal population genetics e-mail: Matthias.Hoss@isrec.unil.ch Authenticity is all in research on ancient DNA. Experience has taught us that even the most exciting claims of the retrieval of ancient DNA are not worth much if they cannot be independently reproduced. Hence the importance of a paper on page 490 of this issue, in which Ovchinnikov et al describe the extraction, amplification and sequencing of DNA from 29,000-year-old archaeological bone material of a Neanderthal recovered from the Mezmaiskaya Cave in the northern Caucasus. This is the second time that such a claim has been made, the first being in 1997 (ref. ). The paper by Ovchinnikov et al . is probably the more important of the two, for it provides invaluable corroboration for the authenticity of Neanderthal DNA sequences. Moreover, sequences of the DNA from a second Neanderthal offer more detailed insight into the contentious evolutionary relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans. , from 80-million-year-old bones of putative dinosaur origin and from insects of up to 130 million years in age trapped in amber The relationship between Neanderthals and humans remains enigmatic, so the retrieval of Neanderthal DNA has been one of the major goals of researchers in the field of ancient DNA. The age of later Neanderthal populations is well within the range compatible with reliable retrieval of ancient DNA (such retrieval is possible from samples up to 100,000 years old). However, it appeared from several studies (for example, ref.

Novel information on early domestication events and subsequent cattle migration has been gleaned from mtDNA, Y chromosome and microsatellite variation. Ancient DNA work is part of this analysis. Additionally, the valuable genetic resources represented by indigenous West African cattle populations are being described with their conservation as an objective. 2: Genetic epidemiology of cattle trypanosomiasis in Togo, West Africa: The role of zebu crossbreeding with native cattle in the prevalence of tsetse-borne sleeping sickness is unknown precisely but suspected to be a major factor. Genetic variation in selected populations with extensive epidemiological data are under investigation. 3: Genetic diversity in human populations European human populations all share a relatively recent common ancestry. As such highly variable loci are needed for comparisons. This work concentrates on the analysis of male specific haplotypes using a series of slowly evolving restriction fragment length polymorphisms and simple-sequence repeats on the Y chromosome. In conjunction with surname information this work aims to develop a genetic map of diversity in Ireland in an attempt to make inferences about the origins of the Irish population. Mitochondrial DNA analysis of the hypervariable D-loop region is also being carried out.
