Is there an application of comparative parallel application of methods used in Ecological PopGen (Ie invasive species).
Can such measures of gene flow, population expansion, AMOVA's, Tajima's D, raggedness etc be applied to Cancer or other diseases. Moving from Ecology into BioMedical Science?
Not sure about "ecological genetics" but there's a lot about evolutionary genetics and adaptive dynamics, e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-01968-5
Perhaps clonal genomes and cancer research could contain relevant information http://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(17)30066-1.pdf
A combination of haplotype grouping, network analysis of genes interaction and population genetic background of affected paitients could produce interesting results. We have initiated this type of study with male infertlity in our country, I hope in comming 2 years we can get some introductory results and insights to this hypothesis.
