How Genetic Disorders are Inherited - | ||||
This site illustrates the use of some simple probability in understanding how genetic disorders are inherited. There are also links to some very interesting information from Blazing a Genetic Trail, a report from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute on locating genes that contribute to genetic disorders. |
||||
Genetic Algorithms - | ||||
This illustrates the strong reliance on probability and statistics in studying artificial genetic systems which represent chromosomes in biological systems. | ||||
Mathematical Methods of Population Genetics - | ||||
An explanation of two mathematical models used to study gene distributions in the evolution of populations. Both models have as their basis concepts in both probability and statistics. | ||||
Molecular Evolution and Population Genetics - | ||||
This is a list of research papers (available for downloading) written on population genetics, which illustrate the strong use of probability and statistics in this area. They are very interesting and readable. | ||||
Research in Dr. Yang's Group at UCLA - | ||||
This site has two descriptions of Dr Yang's research projects in Phylogeny estimation and Markov models of codon substitution and detection of adaptive molecular evolution. | ||||
Statistics in Connection to Complex Inheritance - | ||||
This is a summary of a project in which a graduate student is using statistical techniques to locate genes involved in the development of coeliac disease. |
The
Statistics of Sequence Similarity
Scores. -
This is an
explanation of
how sequence similarity scores are
derived.
This
site from NCBI illustrates the
overwhelming use of
statistics
in the
study
of DNA sequences.
Evolutionary
Algorithms -
This site discusses
a
group of researcher's
work on Evolutionary
Algorithms based on
probabiltiy theory. It links to
many publications
and
technical reports
which use probability and
statistics in the study
of
genetics.
Genetics for
Probability
-
This is
an interesting site which uses topics in genetics
to illustrate
the
applications of probability.
Mathematical Modeling of
Evolution
Analysis of an X-Linkage Genetics
Problem -
This site has a couple
of
simple
genetics problems using probability.
Intermediate Genetics -
This site fron North
Dakota State University has some good
notes
on genetics and also
statistical techniques used in genetics.
Introduction to Branching Processes and
the Extinction Problem -
This is
a
very
brief introduction
to
the Galton-Watson branching
model, which has applications
in population
genetics. There are
also links to open problems in this
area.
New
Fears About Extinction -
This is
an
article which
appeared in The New York Times
illustrating the use of mathematical
modeling to understand
the viability of
populations.
Statistics estimate the molecular clock and
evaluate neutral theory predictions. -
This site
illustrates the wide use of
probability and statistics
at the
molecular level. Go to this
