An Experimental-Design Perspective on Population Genetic Variation
We consider the hypothesis that Evolution promotes population-wide genome patterns that, under randomization, ensures the External Validity of adaptations across population members. An adaptation is Externally Valid (EV) if its effect holds under a wide range of population genetic variations. A prediction following the hypothesis is that pairwise base substitutions in segregating regions must be 'random' as in Erdos-Renyi-Gilbert random graphs, but with edge probabilities derived from Experimental-Design concepts. We demonstrate these probabilities, and consequent mutation rates, in the full-genomes of 2504 humans, 1135 flowering plants, 1170 flies, 453 domestic sheep and 1223 brown rats.

Human genetic admixture through the lens of population genomics
Over the last fifty years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity classically summarized by Lewontin in his 197…
Diversityk-mer-based approaches to bridging pangenomics and population genetics
Many commonly studied species now have more than one chromosome-scale genome assembly, revealing a large amount of genetic diversity previously missed by approaches that map short reads to a single reference. However, ma…
Data CompressionDiversityThe influence of chromosomal inversions on genetic variation and clinal patterns in genomic data of Drosophila melanogaster
Chromosomal inversions are structural mutations resulting in the reversal of the gene order along the corresponding genomic region. Due to their influence on recombination patterns, they can have a major influence on gen…
Understanding the genetic basis of variation in meiotic recombination: past, present, and future
Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexually reproducing species. It is often required for proper chromosome segregation and plays important role in adaptation and the maintenance of genetic diversity. The …
DiversityCollective Fluctuations in models of adaptation
The dynamics of adaptation is difficult to predict because it is highly stochastic even in large populations. The uncertainty emerges from number fluctuations, called genetic drift, arising in the small number of particu…
