\"\"<\/a>If you read a blog about Biblical criticism from a Christian perspective it would probably be best if you were familiar with the Bible. You don’t have to have read much scholarly commentary<\/a>, rather, just the New Testament<\/a>. Barring that, at least the synoptic gospels<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n

At this point, with over 400 individuals responding to the reader survey<\/a>, it is strange to consider that more people believe<\/strong> they have a handle on what Fst<\/sub><\/a> is than the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium<\/a>. First, Fst<\/sub> is a more subtle concept than people often think it is. And second, because the HWE is so easy, important, and foundational to population genetics.<\/b> I mean \"p^2 + 2pq^2 + q^2 = 1\". Could it be simpler???<\/p>\n

\"\"So a quick ask. If you are one of the people who doesn’t understand HWE or why it is important, please get yourself a copy of John Gillespie’s Population Genetics: A Concise Guide<\/a>. I understand that not everyone has the time, interest, or money for Principles of Population Genetics<\/a>, or any of the more “hardcore” texts. But Population Genetics: A Concise Guide<\/a> will surely suffice to follow anything on this blog.<\/p>\n

Or, barring that, please review the online resources which you have available. Two examples:<\/p>\n

Graham Coop’s Notes on Population Genetics<\/a> or Joe Felsenstein’s unpublished textbook Theoretical Evolutionary Genetics<\/a>.<\/p>\n
