 | | Ecological genetics again builds upon the basic principles of population genetics but is more explicitly focused on ecological issues. | | | The foundational discipline is population genetics which studies the distribution of and change in allele frequencies of genes under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and migration. | | | While molecular genetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics focuses on wild populations of organisms, and attempts to collect data on the ecological aspects of individuals as well as molecular markers from those individuals. |

| | Lexicon of Evolutionary Genetics |
| | The principal approaches use either stochastic demographic models to determine how to minimise extinction probabilities, or genetic theory to determine how to maintain genetic variation (assuming that ability to evolve helps buffer populations against the unknown); both methods arrive at similar conclusions under panmictic conditions. | | | Genetic drift is most likely to be effective in very small populations (< 100 individuals), where reduction of genetic variability lowers the capacity of a population to adapt to changes in the environment, and also tends to reduce the overall fitness of the population. | | | The effect of territoriality on the genetic composition of the population, however, is to restrict the proportion of the total population in any one year that breeds and thus contributes genes to the next generation. |

| | Purebred Dog Breeds into the 21st Century |
| | Perhaps the most crucial concept in population genetics for dog-breeders is the founder event, for its theory describes perfectly what takes place when a breed is "recognised" by CKC or a similar registry. | | | Armed with the concepts of population genetics, we can now examine the last century of nineteenth-century dog breeding, ascertain what has gone wrong, and establish ways and means to correct the situation. | | | Much of the work of population genetics involves estimating or calculating gene frequencies, which quantify the relative commonness or scarcity, within a particular population, of alleles at a particular gene locus. |

| | In this population genetic study, allele frequencies and haplotypes were determined for the Y chromosome short tandem repeat (STR) loci DYS19, DYS385I, DYS385II, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393 in a sample comprising 582 Chinese from Taiwan. | | | In this population genetic study, allele frequencies were determined for the CD4, TPOX, and CSF1PO loci in an Italian sample of approximately 2000 individuals as part of a collaborative exercise involving 19 laboratories. | | | Uncertainty of this nature is complicated further by the inadequacy of the preservation of the material to be analysed and a lack of awareness regarding the analytical steps which most significantly affect the precision of the analytical result. |

| | Conservation genetics seeks to realise the extent of diversity in a population and keep it as high as possible to lessen the likelihood of the loss of the entire species. | | | Without Conservation Genetics, we could be trying to conserve one population of 1000 individuals and relatively large genetic diversity (remember that conservation is very expensive), while another population of 1500 individuals is much closer to extinction due to their nearly non-existent diversity. | | | Despite its seemingly exact name of 'Conservation Genetics', this field is made up of all kinds of individual sciences; ecology, mathematics, molecular biology, the study of family trees (evolutionary systematics) to name but a few. |

| | The future of genetics will involve increasing communication between the different areas of genetics (molecular genetics, developmental genetics, population genetics, evolutionary genetics) as well as other disciplines such as biochemistry and cell biology. | | | Thesis research projects are available in over 90 different laboratories studying a variety of topics including: chromosome structure and function; transposable elements; DNA replication; cell cycle control; signal transduction; regulation of transcription and RNA splicing; the molecular genetics of cancer; behavioral genetics; developmental genetics; bacterial and viral pathogenesis; population genetics; and molecular evolution. | | | Therefore, the Genetics Program at Stony Brook was created as an inter-institutional program, to focus and combine the existing strengths in genetics at the State University Of New York at Stony Brook, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. |
