BRS Tom Booker: What we can learn about natural selection from patterns of diversity across the genomes of wild mice

February 9, 2022, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

host: Whitlock lab

Title: What we can learn about natural selection from patterns of diversity across the genomes of wild mice

Abstract: Natural selection leaves distinct footprints in the patterns of genetic variation across the genome. In this talk I will give an overview of how natural selection has shaped patterns of nucleotide diversity across the mouse genome and how we can leverage those patterns to better understand molecular evolution.
