Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. Usually it is expressed as a proportion or a percentage. In population genetics, allele ...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effective in detecting common alleles that contribute to the inherited component of common multifactorial diseases. Typically, the alleles identified by this ...
Most populations have some degree of variation in their gene pools. By measuring the amount of genetic variation in a population, scientists can begin to make predictions about how genetic variation ...
The Allele Frequency Community (AFC), an initiative that is compiling ethnically diverse genomic information, intends to improve the interpretation of gene variants in personalized medicine. The more ...
An iterative procedure for deriving minimum-length phylogenetic trees from allele frequencies using Rogers' genetic distance as the measure of branch length is extended to include eight additional ...
ABSTRACT: Understanding the processes that develop and maintain diversity in coastal communities is an important challenge, particularly given the conservation and management needs of these ecosystems ...
Researchers used field data from 2012 to 2015 to study mortality and allele frequency changes in the sea star Pisaster ochraceus during a mass mortality event in north central California, and found ...
