Description

This collection of papers demonstrates the power of molecular approaches for analyzing and qualifying the effects of evolutionary forces on genetic variation. Examples are drawn from drosphila, mice, humans and other organisms.

Table of Contents

  • Evolutionary genetics for human paleo-populations
  • the how and why of generating gene genealogies
  • measurements of DNA polymorphism
  • estimating selection coefficients from phylogenetic history
  • evolutionary inferences from molecular characterization of self-incompatibility alleles
  • coevolution of immunogenetic proteins of Plasmodium falciparum and the host's immune system
  • balancing selection at HLA Loci
  • evolution of the mouse t-Haplotypes
  • evidence for, and implications of, genetic hitch-hiking in the Drosophila genome
  • DNA polymorphisms and the origin of protein polymorphism at the Gdph Locus of Drosphila melanogaster
  • molecular genetic studies of postmating reproductive isolation in Drosophila
  • mitochondrial transmission in Drosophila
  • genetic polymorphisms and recombination in natural populations of Escherichia coli.
