Stat 592 Schedule of lectures

Winter 2005

THIS SCHEDULE IS PRELIMINARY, AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Stuff we might do after the stuff already moved down to the tentative schedule:

We decided not to do this: Two-locus theory:
Background 2.10, up to (2.94) Basic theory 6.1-6.3: Pp 201-203, 204-207 (top), 207-209
Genetic modifiers 6.5: Pp 221-223 (6.65), 223-225 (mis), 225-227.
Hitchhiking 6.7: Pp 230-232 (Assoc ovedominance), 232-234 (top)
Evolutionary advantage of recombination: 6.8: 235-237, 237-239

The coalescent Ch 10: it wd be nice to do 10.6

Testing neutral theory: Ch 11 -- we will do 11.3
