It's also pretty pricey ($99.95 on Amazon.com, $79.96 for members on Barnes & Noble.com, and $99.95...

A few of you will find incompletes, but I think you're all expecting them. If you have any questions, please e-mail me. Have a wonderful winter break, and travel safely. Thanks for a great... Kent 2006-12-17T19:51:36-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000532.html I'll be stopping lecture about 10 minutes early for the usual course evaluations. I don't have a way for those of you at Avery Point to fill out the formal evaluations (unless there's something going on down there that I...

As noted in the detail page for tomorrow's lecture, I don't think we'll finish everything in these notes tomorrow. I expect to spend more time on it on Friday. As a result,...

It's not clear yet whether I'll find a real data set for... Kent 2006-11-30T19:14:27-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000527.html I've posted the notes on evolution in mutigene families. I have a feeling that we won't finish everything I'd like to say about them today, so we'll probably take all or part of Friday's lecture to finish. If so, I'll... Kent 2006-11-28T21:54:27-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000526.html I've just posted notes on Tajima's D and some related statistics. We'll start on evolution in multigene families on Wednesday.... Kent 2006-11-27T08:09:58-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000525.html I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

They're part of the table in the project assignment. I'm not entirely convinced they're the correct thresholds, but they'll be close enough for our purposes. Let me know if... Kent 2006-11-11T15:04:35-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000522.html I've uploaded some notes on topics we'll get to tomorrow, after we finish our introduction to the neutral theory. Other items of note: Now that I've finished the notes, I'm going to start the permutation analysis for data set 4... Kent 2006-11-09T19:51:19-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000521.html I've posted notes on the neutral theory of molecular evolution. Because the basic ideas are really pretty simple (even the math is simple), we may actually get through these today -- even though we first have to finish up some... Kent 2006-11-08T06:57:12-05:00 http://darwin.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb348/archives/000520.html I've upoloaded Project #2 to the course website. It shouldn't come as a shock to you that it involves using QTL Cartographer. There's a link to the data file on the course detail page for tomorrow's lecture, but here it...
