I have just posted revised notes on the analysis of population structure using individual assignment, focusing on STRUCTURE. I’ve also posted revised notes on the basic principles of natural selection, focusing on viability selection at one locus with two alleles. If you’ve seen earlier versions of either set of notes, you won’t find much new here – other than a few more lame jokes hidden in the footnotes.

- The genetics of natural selection (HTML) (PDF)
By the way, I haven’t mentioned this yet, but my goal is to finish revising these notes no later than mid-August, earlier if I can pull it off. When I’ve revised all of them, I’ll compile them into a single volume of notes and release a new version of Lecture notes in population genetics. I have to say that when I was looking up the URL for the last edition of my notes on Figshare, I was surprised to see that they’ve been seen nearly 11,000 times and been downloaded nearly 3400 times. I am pleased that so many people seem to find them useful. If you’re one of those people and you have suggestions on how to make them more useful, please let me know. I am especially interested in hearing from you if you find errors or discussions that are confusing.
