Omschrijving
This book introduces readers to classical population genetics and the ways in which it can be applied to practical problems, including testing for natural selection, genetic drift, genetic differentiation, population structuring, gene flow and linkage disequilibrium.
“This volume begins with a review of population genetic concepts and a description of the evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation within and among populations. … for readers who are interested in learning about chromosomal inversion variation in nature and/or are interested in population genetic history and structure of D. ananassae as a model organism, I would recommend this book.” (Roman Yukilevich, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 92 (3), September, 2017)
Dr. Pranveer Singh was born in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India on July11, 1976. Dr. Singh did his graduation in Zoology, Botany and Post graduation in Zoology with specialization in cytogenetics, both from university of Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India in the year 1998 and 2000 respectively. Dr. Singh completed his doctoral thesis in evolutionary population genetics from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India in the year 2007.
He did his postdoctoral study (2008-2012) as a UGC-DS Kothari Postdoctoral Fellow in biophysics/proteomics from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, Karnataka, India. At IISc, his work involved protein engineering of HIV envelope protein to design an immunogen to be used as a subunit vaccine for HIV-1. This work was funded by International AIDS vaccine initiative (IAVI), USA. Currently, he is working as Assistant Professor in department of zoology, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU), Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh, India. He has already published three books: Surface Plasmon Resonance; Chordates: Comparative Account of Physiology and Chordates: Origin, Affinity and Evolution with Nova Scientific Publishers, New York, U.S.A. His research interests include, Biophysics, proteomics, vaccine design, protein folding-unfolding kinetics, epidemiology of diseases, evolutionary genetics, and population genetics.
Dr. Singh is currently senior member of Asia-Pacific chemical biology and environmental engineering society (APCBEES). Dr. Singh is awarded with national level fellowships for doctoral and postdoctoral studies. Dr. Singh has served in various university level committees.
