James Crow colloquium

Watch The Progress of Genetics From the 1930s to Today - Ep. 514 on PBS. See more from University Place.


Excellent colloquium by James Crow (who passed away recently) emphasizing the importance and ubiquity of additive genetic variance. See earlier post -- the paper linked there covers similar material.

@28 min, Nagylaki came to population genetics after doing his PhD under Feynman at Caltech! Here is his tour de force result, mentioned by Crow in the talk. Interested physicists, see also here.
