population genomics | Welcome to PGG

Welcome to PGG Welcome to PGG. PGG is affiliated with PICB – Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and German Max Planck Society (MPG) partner institute for computational biology. The goal of the Population Genomics Group (PGG) is to understand the evolutionary dynamics of genomes at population level using computational approaches, and to bridge evolutionary history and genomic medicine. Currently, PGG is focusing on analysis of genetic structure, inference of human...
