Linkage Disequilibrium, Human Population Diversity, and the Hemoglobin Gene
Introduction Linkage disequilibrium is a somewhat rudimentary, but effective way to measure of the evolution of a population. It is, essentially, a quantification of the association between alleles (which, in this case, includes single nucleotide variants) as they exist in a population. In a fixed, non-evolving population, there should, theoretically be no association, and all…

Population STRUCTURE of Arctic Dogs & Wolves – How Similar Are They?
Overview Arctic dogs are now lovable pets, but were once bred for their ability to pull a sled around. What’s more interesting, at least to me, is that they share a high degree of genetic similarity with wolves. Here, I’m going to be looking at the Arctic Dog clade to understand the relationships between the…
