POPULATION GENETICS THEORY

提出了群体遗传学理论研究的两个领域。这个 首先涉及多基因座群体遗传学的几个方面。 其中包括对遗传修饰物性质的阐明。 在大种群和小种群以及在各种不同的 自然选择制度。健康对人口的影响 顺式和反式配置中的基因类型之间的差异将是 调查过了。一般重组方案的新表示将 被应用于研究数量的亲属之间的协方差 性格。第二个领域涉及的特征既是传递的 遗传的和文化的。不同选拔制度的后果和 这些性状在体内分布的传播模式 将对种群进行研究。亲属之间的协方差将是 在传播受相互作用的基因影响的情况下计算。 一种重要的文化传播特征--杀婴的影响 针对一种性别，将对人口中的主要性别比进行研究。

Two areas of theoretical population genetic research are proposed. The first concerns a number of aspects of multilocus population genetics. Among these are the elucidation of the properties of genetic modifiers of recombination in large and small populations and under a variety of natural selection regimes. The population consequences of fitness differences between genotypes in cis and trans configurations will be investigated. A new representation of general recombination schemes will be applied to the study of covariances between relatives of a quantitative character. The second area concerns traits whose transmission is both genetic and cultural. The consequences of different selection regimes and transmission patterns for the distribution of such traits within populations will be studied. Covariances between relatives will be computed in cases where transmission is influenced by interacting genes. The effect of an important culturally transmitted trait, infanticide against one sex, on the primary sex ratio in a population will be studied.
