Introduction to Genome Scans by Mike Whitlock

Explore the fundamentals of genome scans in this comprehensive lecture by Mike Whitlock, part of the Sixth Bangalore School on Population Genetics and Evolution. Delve into the theoretical framework and practical applications of genome scans in evolutionary biology over the course of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Learn how this powerful tool integrates mathematical and statistical concepts with genetic inheritance, selection, mutation, migration, and random genetic drift to predict and test evolutionary changes in populations. Gain insights into designing experiments and understanding the mechanisms of evolution through population genetic models. This lecture is suitable for students from diverse biological and mathematical backgrounds interested in experimental evolution, molecular evolution, and population genetics.
