Frontiers in Evolutionary and Population Genetics is a Specialty Section of Frontiers in Genetics.The technological, informational, and computational advances of the past decade have opened the door to dramatic advances in our understanding of the evolutionary and population genetics of life. In particular, next generation sequencing technology has democratized whole-genome sequencing. At long last, individual laboratories can accomplish projects that were, until recently, the purview of large-scale sequencing centers exclusively. Genome-sequence data are now available and being produced for population samples of hundreds and even thousands of individuals. Not even extinction is a guarantee against having one’s genome sequenced today. Evolutionary and population geneticists also benefit from a growing understanding of the functional, phenotypic, and medical effects of genetic variation. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), burgeoning functional genomics technologies such as ChiP-SEQ and RNA-SEQ, and systematic catalogs of gene deletions in a variety of model organisms are examples of projects that can and should inform the study of evolutionary genetics broadly. Frontiers in Evolutionary and Population Genetics is a forum for the publication of articles on contemporary data and novel laboratory and statistical methods in molecular evolution, population genetics, population genomics, comparative genomics, ancient DNA, experimental genetics, evolutionary and developmental genetics and gene mapping. Studies on human, model organism, and natural populations are all appropriate for this Specialty Section.
