@leafs_s @systems_neuro Work like this would be improved by a foundation in quantitative population genetics. Drift dominates when effective population sizes are so very low. Have a look at this harsh but right commentary by Michael Lynch to see the risks: https://t.co/OlNWxxWxy8
@sientifiko1 Salvo algunos detalles, yo aquí estoy con Michael Lynch. https://t.co/mtKeC42MkA https://t.co/ZcqOStGsCh
way of base. Have a read of his harsh “Frailty” paper https://t.co/OlNWxxWxy8 or similar “Genomefart” chapter in Origins of Genome Architecture (which you will enjoy). or this more recent paper https://t.co/GKAvJHPx0E https://t.co/926wEgDeTH
Drift, drift, drift! Effective population size in all metazoans is low. Much, perhaps most, metazoan change is driven by drift. Read this edgy piece by Michael Lynch—maestro of popgen: https://t.co/OlNWxxWxy8 @WiringTheBrain But as Mike points out we all want cute stories. https://t.co/BJK9awM4R1 https://t.co/AmpxBDgNcL
emphasize the importance of drift in metazoan evolution. Effective population size of metazoans is surprisingly low and much change driven by chance fixation rather than strong selection. Does drift count as cause? Here is Mike’s biting PNAS paper. https://t.co/OlNWxxWxy8
"Who hurt you?" was my main question at the end of this paper. The lone author is clearly working out some stuff, with lines like, "The field of pop gen is technically demanding, and it is well known that most biologists abhor all things mathematical." https://t.co/jh6o4Bg4hy
