Introduction to Quantitative Genetics.
Part 1 Genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Part 2 Changes in gene frequency: migration mutation. Part 3 Small populations - changes in gene frequen...
Empirical threshold values for quantitative trait mapping.
Abstract The detection of genes that control quantitative characters is a problem of great interest to the genetic mapping community. Methods for locating these quantitative tra...
Generic Assignments, Strain Histories and Properties of Pure Cultures of Cyanobacteria
Summary: On the basis of a comparative study of 178 strains of cyanobacteria, representative of this group of prokaryotes, revised definitions of many genera are proposed. Revis...
Stochastic Mapping of Morphological Characters
Many questions in evolutionary biology are best addressed by comparing traits in different species. Often such studies involve mapping characters on phylogenetic trees. Mapping ...
CONFIDENCE LIMITS ON PHYLOGENIES: AN APPROACH USING THE BOOTSTRAP
The recently-developed statistical method known as the "bootstrap" can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies. It involves resampling points from one's own data, w...
