Population Genetics
Population genetics is the study of the distribution of genetic variants in a population, and the changes in that distribution over time. It is a field of biology that forms the basis of evolutionary studies and seeks to understand how populations evolve through time due to a variety of forces, such as mutations, natural selection, and gene flow. Population genetics has many applications, including providing insight into the evolutionary processes that are responsible for species diversity and adaptation, and understanding the genetic basis of complex diseases. It is also used in conservation genetics to ensure the long-term persistence of endangered species, and to identify and prevent the spread of genetic disorders in human populations.
