Statistical genetics

subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences of populations, part of evolutionary biology

principle that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant over generations in the absence of other evolutionary influences

DNA locus associated with variation in a quantitative trait

experiment showing that in bacteria, genetic mutations arise in the absence of selection, rather than being a response to selection.

model for tracing the history of genetic variation

Score that is the effect of many genetic variants on an individual's phenotype, calculated as a weighted sum of trait-associated alleles

genetics term; statistical inference of unobserved genotypes

the proportion of variance that two traits share due to genetic causes, the correlation between the genetic influences on a trait and the genetic influences on a different trait estimating the degree of pleiotropy or causal overlap

model of changes in a sequence over evolutionary time
