Lecture notes for the coming week

I’ve posted notes for the week of 6 February. On Tuesday we’ll complete our discussion of F-statistics. Then we’ll move on to a very different approach to analysis of genetic structure – individual assignment. You’ll be using Structure for your analysis of genetic structure in Project #2, and Nora will introduce you to it in lab. Depending on how things go, we may start our discussion of the principles of natural selection towards the end of the lecture on Tuesday. In any case, we’ll be deep into the weeds on understanding it on Thursday so that we’re ready to understand how to go about estimating it next week.
