Biostatistics 690MS - Stochastic Models/Pop Genomics

This lecture will introduce stochastic models used in Population Genomics to study the evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation. We will introduce these models in the neutral setting, and extend them to incorporate biological phenomena like natural selection, recombination, and changes in population size and structure. We will learn how to use these models for simulation, as will as applying them to modern genomic datasets to infer biological relevant parameters.
