63. Population Genetics population genetics and Breeding. by John Armstrong. Early genetics. Populationgenetics is a tool for looking at an entire population or breed. http://www.magmacom.com/~kaitlin/diversity/essays/pgbreed.html

The Canine Diversity Project Population Genetics and Breeding by John Armstrong Early genetics This does not imply an endorsement of random mating, but was simply a starting point for the eventual development of equations to describe other situations. Most natural populations do not follow these rules. In nature, selection is often harsh, and most animals do not practice random mating. In many species that live in packs or herds, only the dominant male may breed and competition for that spot may be intense. Otherwise, the most common practice is probably assortative mating, where mates are chosen that have similar qualities (size, temperament, etc.) or are not closely related (negative assortative mating). How they decide on the latter is still being determined, but recognition of relatives probably depends on pheromones to a large extent. Genetics without color In the beginning, all geneticists held to much the same beliefs, or "model"– that there was one, and only one, good (or "wild-type") version of each gene. There were also a few nasty recessive mutants that would occasionally surface. They didn't really expect to find a large amount of diversity for most genes. They lived in a black-and-white world where genes were like light switches – either on or off, no in-between. As most of the bad mutations appeared to be recessive, good breeding was reduced to finding ways of efficiently identifying those carrying "degeneracies". Faith in inbreeding as a method for breeding the perfect individual was reinforced by various authors:

Overview Disease Genetics Genomics and Technology Developmental Genetics ... Population Genetics Population Genetics Moving from the "micro" level of genetics (directing cell function, growth, and development) to the "macro" level, we see that our genes make us similar to or different from each other. Inherited (or genetic) characteristics such as height, hair color, and race are a few examples. Each characteristic has many variations; hair color can be black, brown, red, blonde, white, or gray, for example. Statistical analysis of such variations is used to determine how they are passed from generation to generation. Our researchers use population genetics to identify and track variations that produce genetic diseases and to study historical issues such as the evolution of humans.

Research in the Population Genetics Laboratory is focused on detecting and mapping individual genes that influence common human diseases. Evidence for disease susceptibility genes is obtained by statistical genetic analysis of patterns of variation in disease risk factors within families. Our research involves studies of human families and of animal models. Our human studies include the investigation of genetic effects on cardiovascular risk factors in Mexican American and American Indian families. We are detecting and mapping major genes that influence susceptibility to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, and characterizing the interactions of genes and environmental factors. We recently have begun studies of the genetics of susceptibility to parasitic infections in humans. Projects include a study of helminthic infection among the Jiri of Nepal, and investigation of Chagas' disease in Brazil. Testing hypotheses about the form of genetic transmission of such diseases and their associated risk factors requires statistical models that can consider more than one trait at a time and that can fully utilize data for extended families. We are developing new methods for determining whether the effects of genes contributing to physiological variation are constant across different environments. We also are developing rapid methods of linkage analysis of quantitative and qualitative traits in extended pedigrees, for use in genomic searching.

Mummified remains from Peru For example, when archaeologists discover relics of a distant culture in unusual places, it prompts the question: did the people of that culture travel there or was it just the artefacts which made their way across the world, perhaps through trade or as loot seized during battle? Explaining cultural changes in a group of people can also be problematic because it is impossible to know if the change resulted from a movement of people or merely a movement of ideas. Whilst archaeology can provide some of the answers by unearthing evidence of changes in material culture, only genetics can complete the picture telling us whether cultural transitions were accompanied by changes in the blood of the people.

Anthropology Outreach Office Smithsonian Institution BEANBAG POPULATION GENETICS How does evolution "work"? This exercise defines basic terms and describes experimental procedures for teachers to use when explaining concepts in evolution. Students work in teams of two, and each team completes two separate experiments demonstrating 1) random genetic drift, and 2) natural selection. Since each team must complete up to ten trials for each experiment, the teacher may want to plan this activity for two class periods. After all the experiments have been completed, the teams can regroup for a discussion of the experimental outcomes. Under the Reports section of this exercise, guidelines are offered for each group’s written summary of the experiments. Teachers can focus on the following for class discussion: How do the experimental procedures differ? How does the sample size of beans affect the outcome of the experiments? How are the outcomes of the experiments similar? How are they different? How do the two evolutionary forces demonstratedrandom genetic drift and natural selection change populations differently? It is difficult to predict the exact outcomes of these experiments, just as it is difficult to predict evolutionary changes. However, the teams can compare their different results, and discuss how the changes in their populations occurred (gradually or suddenly) through the steps of the experiments.

Population Genetics I.1 What is population genetics ? Population genetics is a discipline studying genetic variation in defined populations, including relevant aspects of population structure and geographic variability of DNA sequences and their frequencies. I.2 Main trends in population genetics research I.2.1 Genetic epidemiology Isolated populations are the main source for observation of genetic forces acting in human evolution. Pedigree information can be used to observe migration, to measure the mean- inbreeding coefficients, or to trace the linkage of disease. The method used to make a pedigree sheet, and the information sought, depends upon the objects of investigation, the quality and quantity of basic data, and their purposes. I.2.2 Genetic screening Population genetic studies are not new, but the technology and level of analysis has evolved very quickly. The large-scale genetic studies that have been carried out often survey large groups that are anonymous in character, but some studies have been conducted on sampled individuals from target populations.

Novel information on early domestication events and subsequent cattle migration has been gleaned from mtDNA, Y chromosome and microsatellite variation. Ancient DNA work is part of this analysis. Additionally, the valuable genetic resources represented by indigenous West African cattle populations are being described with their conservation as an objective. 2: Genetic epidemiology of cattle trypanosomiasis in Togo, West Africa: The role of zebu crossbreeding with native cattle in the prevalence of tsetse-borne sleeping sickness is unknown precisely but suspected to be a major factor. Genetic variation in selected populations with extensive epidemiological data are under investigation. 3: Genetic diversity in human populations European human populations all share a relatively recent common ancestry. As such highly variable loci are needed for comparisons. This work concentrates on the analysis of male specific haplotypes using a series of slowly evolving restriction fragment length polymorphisms and simple-sequence repeats on the Y chromosome. In conjunction with surname information this work aims to develop a genetic map of diversity in Ireland in an attempt to make inferences about the origins of the Irish population. Mitochondrial DNA analysis of the hypervariable D-loop region is also being carried out.

This book lays out much of the foundation of population genetics augmented with interesting particulars and conceptual insight. Population genetics involves ideas that are quatitative and ofter difficult for biology undergraduates, but Professor Gillespie offers his characteristically clear thinking and articulate explanations." Charles Langley, University of California-Davis "In a species with a million individuals," writes John H. Gillespie, "it takes roughly a million generations for genetic drift to change allele frequencies appreciably. There is no conceivable way of verifying that genetic drift changes allele frequencies in most natural populations. Our understanding that it does is entirely theoretical. Most population geneticists are not only comfortable with this state of affairs, but revel in the fact that they can demonstrate on the back of an envelope, rather than in the laboratory, how an important evolutionary force operates."

We are investigating the causes and consequences of the two major modes of asexual reproduction: vegetative propagation and apomixis. Colonization, especially when it involves the movement of a species from one part of the world to another, can have a variety of ecological and genetic consequences, which, in turn may greatly affect the evolution of reproductive and life-history strategies. Understanding the consequences of colonization is also central to the effective management of invading species. We are investigating the ecological and genetic consequences of colonization by comparing native and introduced populations of
