Lecture 2.8 Hardy-Weinberg

Overview

Can we predict evolution? The answer is, maybe surprisingly, yes. Increasing numbers of researchers–including me–are working to predict the course of evolution in tumors under treatment. But can you tell if something is evolving? The answer also is yes, and the same reasoning can be used both to predict evolution and detect it. This lecture introduces that thought process.
