A Primer of Population Genetics and Genomics

A Primer of Population Genetics and Genomics, 4th Edition, provides an accessible introduction to the foundational principles of population genetics and genomics. The textbook introduces how evolutionary processes operate at the population level, pairing mathematical models with the historical development of the discipline.

The volume covers major topics such as genetic polymorphisms, the organization of genetic variation, and the effects of inbreeding and population structure. It also addresses primary evolutionary forces including mutation, migration, natural selection, and random genetic drift.

To support learning, the text integrates in-text problems throughout each chapter, allowing students to apply key concepts as they encounter them.
