Concepts
8 concepts
reciprocal transplant experiment
Experimental approach where organisms from different source populations are grown in different environments to test for local adaptation
genome-wide association study
Statistical approach to identify genetic variants associated with traits by scanning the entire genome
linear mixed effects model
Statistical model accounting for both fixed and random effects to analyze hierarchical or repeated measures data
coalescent simulation
A computational method for simulating genealogies of sampled sequences under neutral evolution
effect sizes
individual-based model
Computational model that simulates individual organisms and their life histories to understand population-level patterns
Bateman's index
Constancy index that distinguishes between complete constancy, random transitions, and complete inconstancy
genome polishing
Computational method to improve genome assembly accuracy by using short reads to correct errors in long-read assemblies
