DR. MARCY UYENOYAMA – SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2023
EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS SEMINAR SERIES: LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM AMONG NEUTRAL VARIANTS IN STRUCTURED POPULATIONS

This research explores how shared ancestry can link genetic variations at different points in the genome. By developing a new approach to predict these connections using two-point genetic data, the study delves into how genetic drift, mutations, and breeding patterns influence genetic diversity and relationships. It invites a discussion on the significance and roots of these genetic imbalances in population structures.
