Notes

I've posted notes on selection components analysis to the web site. Since we won't be discussing it in lecture, I haven't linked to them from any individual lecture. You can find them from the "Notes" page. You'll notice that there isn't anything about a Bayesian approach to selection components analysis in the notes. As with the other analyses we've looked at, a Bayesian approach has distinct advantages, but I didn't have time to develop the notes to illustrate how to do selection components analysis in a Bayesian context. If you're interested, ask. The principle is straightforward, even if the implmentation is messy.

I've also posted notes for Wednesday and Friday's lectures on genetic drift. It's the same set of notes for both lectures, so there's no need to print them twice. I've also included a link to a paper you may (or may not) want to look at. It will give you some idea of what's known about drift, migration, and mutation. It is, however, very heavy going, so take a look at it on screen before printing it out. You may decide that you really don't want to read it, which would be just fine. I'm just providing a pointer on the remote chance that you'd actually like to try.
