As genomics, computational \r\nbiology and molecular biotechnology advance at an unprecedented pace, \r\nunderstanding how genetic variation arises, persists and evolves within \r\npopulations has become essential across disciplines—including agriculture, \r\nconservation, medicine and human evolutionary studies. This book has been \r\nwritten to bridge classical theory with contemporary scientific insights, \r\noffering a clear, comprehensive and structured guide for learners and \r\nresearchers. <br><br>\r\nThe book is organized into four interconnected parts. Part I introduces \r\nthe fundamental principles, from the concept of the gene pool to the Hardy\r\nWeinberg equilibrium, providing readers with a strong conceptual \r\ngrounding. Part II examines the key forces shaping genetic variation \r\nmutation, genetic drift, natural selection and gene flow—supported by real\r\nworld examples and evolutionary models. Part III incorporates advanced \r\ntopics such as linkage disequilibrium, recombination, neutral theory, \r\nmolecular clocks and quantitative genetics, reflecting the growing influence \r\nof molecular data in evolutionary biology. Finally, Part IV highlights the \r\npractical applications of population genetics in medicine, conservation \r\nbiology and human evolutionary studies, demonstrating its importance in \r\naddressing global challenges such as genetic disorders, biodiversity decline \r\nand ethical issues surrounding genomic data. <br><br>\r\n\r\nThis book aims to support students, teachers and researchers by \r\npresenting concepts in a balanced manner combining theoretical \r\nfoundations with practical applications. Each chapter has been crafted to \r\nencourage critical thinking, deepen analytical skills and inspire further \r\nexploration into the processes that shape genetic diversity. It is our hope that \r\nthis text will serve as both a useful academic resource and a catalyst for \r\ncuriosity in the field of population genetics. <br><br>\r\nWe hope this book becomes a meaningful companion for \r\nacademicians, researchers and students seeking clarity, depth and direction \r\nin understanding the evolutionary patterns of life.","price":599,"sellingPrice":599,"DOIDetail":"doi","bookGallery":["/uploads/PublishedBook/Fundamentals of Population Genetics_Gallery2.png"],"bookSales":0,"bookRoyalty":0,"bookBy":["66ada297d95098bca5841d28"],"category":"695ec1e2b0659e48a719bc39","bookGenre":[],"show":true,"date_time":"2026-10-22T22:09:47.621Z","bookCover":"/uploads/PublishedBook/Fundamentals of Population Genetics_Cover.png","__v":0}
