Content: Three self-contained sets of ten lectures. Drift has to do with stochastic events in generation-to-generation population sampling of . Each generation, as a population, is slightly different at the genetic level than the one preceding it. So too for populations over time. The Wright-Fisher model and the Moran model will be described but Coalescent theory will constitute the core of the course. Drift has always been an interesting and conceptually confusing issue in evolutionary biology, and of course it plays a crucial role in mathematical population genetic theory. Thanks for pointing me to Hartl and Clark, however, I am familiar with population genetics so do not need an introduction. In his published work, Crow seems not to have mentioned the creationism/evolution controversy at all. With Motoo Kimura he coauthored the classic An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory (Harper & Row 1970). Commitment: 10 Aims: This course introduces easy stochastic models used in population genetics. Its use will be illustrated by a number of applications in molecular genetics. Prerequisite(s): Either ST218/219 Mathematical Statistics A&B or ST220 Introduction to Mathematical Statistics.
