... Let’s say that we are investigating the LacZ gene, which encodes the lactose hydrolyzing enzyme ß-galactosidase. There is a useful compound known as X-gal that can be hydrolyzed by ß-galactosidase to release a dark blue pigment. When X-gal is added to the growth medium in petri plates, Lac+ E. coli ...

lactase persistence: evidence for selection
... There was strong selection pressure for the lactase-persistence allele. This selection caused the allele (and surrounding DNA) to be passed on from one generation to the next. Evidence for this selective sweep can be seen as a large area of homozygosity in all lactase-persistent individuals. Because ...

Population genetics
Population genetics is the study of the distribution and change in frequency of alleles within populations, and as such it sits firmly within the field of evolutionary biology. The main processes of evolution (natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and genetic recombination) form an integral part of the theory that underpins population genetics. Studies in this branch of biology examine such phenomena as adaptation, speciation, population subdivision, and population structure.Population genetics was a vital ingredient in the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis. Its primary founders were Sewall Wright, J. B. S. Haldane and Ronald Fisher, who also laid the foundations for the related discipline of quantitative genetics.Traditionally a highly mathematical discipline, modern population genetics encompasses theoretical, lab and field work. Computational approaches, often utilising coalescent theory, have played a central role since the 1980s.
