The Hardy-Weinberg theorem characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving, and is thus the fundamental null model for population genetics. Under the ...

That's what a team of scientists in the Czech Republic did this year to celebrate Gregor Mendel, a scientist and friar whose experiments in the mid-1800s laid the groundwork for modern genetics.

In recent years, the field of genetics has undergone a revolution. Advances in computational tools and sequencing technologies that are both powerful and inexpensive have enabled researchers to make ...
