Book Description | Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. Molecular Population Genetics is a general text covering one of the most active and exciting areas in biology. Combining advances in molecular biology and genomics with mathematical and empirical findings from population genetics, work in molecular population genetics has uncovered the extraordinary history of natural selection and demographic shifts in many organisms, including humans. While basic descriptions of the methods and tools of this field can be found in disparate places, no previous book has brought them together in a single volume. Rather than cobble together pieces from books, reviews, and primary research articles, Molecular Population Genetics presents a coherent user's guide to the field. Intended as a text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, the book will also be useful as a detailed reference for active professionals. |
Editorial Review | "Matt Hahn has produced a gem of a book that I will recommend to all first-year graduate students in evolutionary genetics. He covers a wide range of topics relevant to practitioners of population genetics, and covers sufficient theory for experimentalists to learn how to think in terms of quantitative models. The figures are beautiful and instructive. The author clearly presents the assumptions of many methods, and the possible consequences of violating those assumptions. The "Caveats" section at the end of many chapters will be especially useful to students beginning to interact with the literature in a serious way. The writing is clear, yet conversational, and possesses an energy that makes for satisfying reading."--David Begun, The University of California, Davis "Molecular Population Genetics contains chapters written at a wonderful level for graduate students advancing in this field. Professor Hahn's chapters provide a thorough background on each subject, covering what I would want my own graduate students to understand on each topic."--John Novembre, The University of Chicago |
