Molecular Population Genetics and Evolution.

Genetic Distance between Populations

A measure of genetic distance (D) based on the identity of genes between populations is formulated. It is defined as D = -logeI, where I is the normalized identity of genes betw...

Gene Duplication and Nucleotide Substitution in Evolution

Analysis of Gene Diversity in Subdivided Populations

A method is presented by which the gene diversity (heterozygosity) of a subdivided population can be analyzed into its components, i.e., the gene diversities within and between ...

Estimation of average number of nucleotide substitutions when the rate of substitution varies with nucleotide

MEGA2: molecular evolutionary genetics analysis software

Abstract Summary: We have developed a new software package, Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 2 (MEGA2), for exploring and analyzing aligned DNA or protein sequen...

Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics

Abstract This book presents the statistical methods that are useful in the study of molecular evolution and illustrates how to use them in actual data analysis. Molecular evolut...
