Population Genetics
Population Genetics is the study of genetic variation among and within populations of organisms. It typically relies on the analysis of genetic data from a sample of individuals from a population to determine the genetic makeup of that population, its relatedness to other populations and its evolutionary history. Population Genetics is important to understanding the evolutionary processes which shape the diversity of life and help to inform conservation efforts. It can also be used to identify the emergence of disease-causing genes, to study the history of human migration and to inform breeding programs for crops, livestock and pets.
