Here are some links to other websites dealing with population genetics
research on humans, plants, insects, and other organisms. Some of these sites allow
you to download software for phylogenetic analysis, immigration, linkage disequilibrium,
etc. The sites are broken down by general area (faculty research, laboratories,
software, etc.).

Department of Energy Primer on
Molecular Genetics
Provides easy definitions and explanations of
DNA sequencing, mapping, etc.
Hardy-Weinberg
