Modelling the genomic landscapes of selection and speciation
Understanding how natural selection, random genetic drift and demographic events interact to generate and maintain genetic and species diversity has been the central focus of population genetics for many decades. We now have the necessary genome sequence data to make detailed and powerful inferences about the evolutionary past of populations and species, yet our ability to meaningfully interpret such data has remained fundamentally limited. This project will use a combination of theory, development of new inference tools and a large-scale comparative analyses of genome data and has two principal aims: First to develop a general, statistical framework for making inferences about the joint…
