Bioinformatics definition

Computer analysis and storage of genetic data

Population genetics definition

Study of genetic variation & allele frequency changes in populations

Gene pool definition

All alleles of all genes in a particular population

Four main factors affecting genetic variation (memory aid SSMM)

Size, Selection, Mutation, Migration

Conservation genetics primary aim

Prevent species extinction by maintaining biodiversity

Haplotype definition

Genetic markers inherited together on chromosome from one parent

Haplotype network - larger circles indicate

More individuals share that haplotype

Haplotype network - bars on connecting lines represent

Mutational steps between haplotypes

Catastrophic loss of genetic fitness from isolation & inbreeding

Koala study results - unique haplotypes & lineages found

53 unique haplotypes across 4 distinct lineages
