Dear all,
can anyone recommend a good introduction to demographic modelling in population genetics? I am mainly interested in books but paper suggestions are also welcome.Thanks a lot!
Best wishes,
Belinda
Hi Belinda,
You may have found many great books and papers since you have been opening the present topic, so I just take the liberty to share a few suggestions here just in case this could be of help for you or anyone else.
This recently edited book: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-04589-0 has a Chapter dedicated to demographic inference using genomic data, which present the main coalescent-based methods to reconstruct population histories and infer parameters (I can send you the book in pdf format if you are interested).
Also, Yann Bourgeois and Khaled Hazzouri have published a Preprint (Article Going down the rabbit hole: a review on methods characterizi...
) with a review about demographic inference methods.From a more 'technical' point of view, this book: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781118180358 provides many examples of forward-in-time population genetics simulations, mainly using the software SimuPOP.
I could also recommend this review from Hoban et al. (2012) about various simulation tools and their use regarding demographic inference : https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg3130
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
Dear Chrystelle,
thank you so much! That is indeed very helpful! Yes, it would be great if you could share the book chapter you mentioned with me. Wonderful! Thanks a lot again!
All the best,
Belinda
