   Extractions: Click Here Powered by Netmind Collected here are a few simple simulations (written in Java) I use (or plan to use) when teaching principles of population genetics and population ecology in various courses. If you have suggestions for improving them or ideas for other simulations that might be useful, please contact me at kent@darwin.eeb.uconn.edu . I can't promise that I'll have the time to adopt any suggestions you make, but I promise that I'll consider them. You are the visitor since Thursday, 25 February 1999. Wahlund effect and F-statistics This applet illustrates the Wahlund effect and partitioning of genetic diversity for five populations. Users may select from a variety of allele frequency configurations and several different inbreeding coefficients within populations (all populations are assumed to have the same inbreeding coefficient). EM algorithm for ABO frequencies This applet illustrates the EM algorithm for estimating allele frequencies in the ABO blood system. Users may select from a variety of sample configurations (including random allocation of phenotypes with three different sample sizes) and several different starting guesses (including random frequencies). Results from each iteration are displayed, but only six iterations can be displayed simultaenously. Genetic drift This simulation illustrates how allele frequencies change over time as a result of genetic drift in small populations. Users may select from three different starting allele frequenciese (0.1, 0.5, 0.9), five different population sizes (10, 25, 50, 100, 250), and three different numbers of generations for the simulation (50, 100, 250). Results from up to eight simulations are displayed simultaneously in different colors.

   population genetics. We will be making especially heavy use of computers and statisticalmethods for analysis of data encountered in population genetics.  
   http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/
   
   Extractions: 5 small problems 11% each The large projects will involve reading of the primary literature and analysis of some associated data. You will be asked to write a 4-5 page written summary of your conclusions and to present details of your data analysis. The small problems will involve analysis and interpretation of smaller data sets. You will be asked to write a 1-2 page summary of your analysis and interpretation. I encourage you to work together on projects. Even though you will be graded individually on the projects, you are likely to find that discussing possible approaches and interpretation with your classmates will be a great help in clarifying your thinking. In addition to graded projects, I will make periodic homework assignments. These aren't to be handed in or graded, but they will have questions on them similar to those you will encounter in the projects. Working throught them will be good practice in applying the concepts you'll need to know well for your projects.

    population genetics. population genetics is concerned process of evolutionoccurs. updated on 25 May 1997. return to population genetics index.  
    http://www.piopio.school.nz/popgen.htm
    
    Extractions: Population genetics is concerned with changes in the gene frequencies of sexually reproducing populations over time. Major changes in the gene pool 1. THE GENE POOL The term GENE POOL refers to the total number and variety of genes and alleles present in a sexually reproducing population, which is available to be passed on to the next generation. (see your texts for more information) Suppose we have 100 homozygous wild type (++) female Drosophila and 100 homozygous vestigial (vv) male Drosophila. In the gene pool, half the genes for this character would be + and the other half would be v. To put it another way, we could say that the GENE FREQUENCY of both + and v is 0.5 (50%). In the next generation, the phenotypes of the flies produced by crossing ++ females with vv males will be wild and their genotypes will be +v. The proportions of the genes present have not changed and therefore their gene frequencies will remain at 0.5. By using coloured counters, we can make a model to represent this situation and then trace the relative frequencies of genes in the population from generation to generation. Procedure: Let a counter of one colour (e.g. red) represent an allele for wild type wings and a counter of another colour (e.g green) represent an allele for vestigial wings.

12. Population Genetics Made Simple
    population genetics Made Simple. David A. Plaisted. We give a brief survey ofsome of the points of population genetics most relevant for this purpose.  
    http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/genetics.html
    
    Extractions: In order to understand discussions about evolution, even from a creationist viewpoint, it is helpful to have some background in population genetics. We give a brief survey of some of the points of population genetics most relevant for this purpose. The characteristics of organisms are determined by their genetic material (DNA), and random mutations (changes) in the DNA can result in slight changes in organisms. As these accumulate, there can be changes in organisms, resulting in evolution. Population genetics attempts to analyze this process mathematically. Harmful mutations result in organisms less likely to survive, and so these mutations tend to be eliminated from the population (group of organisms in a species). Beneficial mutations also tend to be eliminated by chance, but less often, and tend to be preserved. As these accumulate, the species can gradually adapt to its environment. Neutral mutations are generally eliminated, curiously, but sometimes can spread to the whole population. We then say that the mutation has fixed in the population. The rate of evolution is the rate at which mutations fix in the population. These can be either beneficial or neutral mutations. If the offspring have on the average one harmful mutation each, then the population will degenerate; this is called "error catastrophe." This puts a bound on how many non-neutral mutations can occur per generation. It cannot be much more than about one per generation, and in fact, it must be significantly less, since most non-neutral mutations are harmful.

13. A Population Genetics For Small Evolution
    A population genetics for Small Evolution. David A. Plaisted. The standardmodel of population genetics on which the theory of evolution  
    http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/challenge11.html
    
    Extractions: My purpose is not to refute evolution or prove creation. I don't think that either is possible, but prefer to reason based on the weight of evidence, which I believe is in favor of creation.. The simple (standard?) population genetics model in which beneficial mutations are not too rare and, when combined, are still beneficial, does not correspond to reality in all cases, as a number of considerations can show. And of course, this is undoubtedly no surprise to population geneticists. In fact, if beneficial mutations are not too rare and can always combine and remain beneficial, then under certain reasonable assumptions, one can show that a random genome would be better adapted than an existing organism. So we can say that a portion of the genome is tightly correlated (highly constrained) if separate mutations A and B in this portion combine as mentioned above. In such a tightly correlated region, mutations must accumulate sequentially. However, there may be more than one such region, and these regions may be independent of one another. Thus, the two regions could evolve independently, increasing the possible rate of evolution. There may also be loosely correlated (loosely constrained) regions of the genome. In the loosely correlated regions, beneficial mutations may be more numerous. Also, I imagine that in a tightly correlated region of the genome, the probability of a beneficial mutation is more like 1/1000 or one in a million, since each change is affecting so many other parts of the organism. This would probably lead to a rate of one beneficial mutation in about 10 or 20 generations, and probably many more generations would be required. If there were a number of tightly correlated regions, largely independent of each other, the rate of evolution could be greater. For example, lungs and legs could evolve in parallel. It is also possible that a tightly correlated region of the organism cannot evolve significantly at all. In a loosely constrained region of the genome, beneficial mutations may be much more common, and evolution could occur much faster.
