"Population genomics" refers to the study of genetic variations and patterns within a group of individuals from the same species. It involves analyzing the DNA of a population to understand how genes are distributed, how they evolve, and how they relate to certain traits or diseases. It helps scientists gain insights into the genetic diversity and evolution of different populations.

You should come to work with me if you're interested in the evolution and coevolution of interacting species, and if you're excited to do fieldwork in the desert, execute experiments in the greenhouse, collect and
crunch population genomic data, model evolutionary processes with differential equations and computer simulations — or maybe to do several of those things.
Here's the context for the case: I'm an evolutionary ecologist with a pretty solid background
in population genomics.
We hope that the easy availability of these large datasets will be useful to many yeast (and non-yeast) researchers, and as the authors say, will help to «guide
future population genomics and genotype — phenotype studies in this classic model system.»
Ecological niche modelling of king penguins in the Southern Ocean, validated
with population genomics and palaeodemography data, is used to reconstruct past range shifts and identify future vulnerable areas and potential refugia under climate change.
The data from tigers, lions and snow leopards provides a rich and diverse genome resource that could be used in future studies of conservation and
population genomics.

The population genomics data not only supported that genetic variation in FT2 is associated with variation in time of fall bud set, but added an interesting twist in that it indicated an additional function for FT1 in release of winter dormancy,» said Brunner.
