Evolutionary genetics is the broad field of studies that attempts to account for evolution in terms of changes in gene and genotype frequencies within population s and the processes that convert the Genetic variation variation with populations into more or less permanent variation between species . It considers the effect of Microevolution micro evolutionary changes among populations due to evolutionary forces, which account for the emergence of Macroevolution macro evolutionary patterns in the long term. A focus of evolutionary genetics is to describe how the evolutionary forces shape the patterns of biodiversity observed in nature. This field of studies resulted from the integration also known as modern synthesis or evolutionary synthesis of genetics and Darwinism Darwinian evolution . Notable individuals in the field include Vladimir Efroimson , G. H. Hardy , Wilhelm Weinberg , Sergei Chetverikov , Ronald Fisher , Sewall Wright , J. B. S.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as molecular genetics .

While enhancers are usually cis acting , an enhancer does not need to be particularly close to the genes it acts on, and sometimes need not be located on the same chromosome . ref name pmid cite journal author Spilianakis CG, Lalioti MD, Town T, Lee GR, Flavell RA title Interchromosomal associations between alternatively expressed loci journal Nature volume 435 issue 7042 pages 637 45 year 2005 doi 10.1038 nature03574 pmid 15880101 ref Enhancer locations In eukaryotic cells the structure of the chromatin complex of DNA is folded in a way that functionally mimics the supercoiled state characteristic of prokaryotic DNA, so that although the enhancer DNA is far from the gene in regard to the number of nucleotides, it is geometrically close to the Promoter biology promoter and gene. This allows it to interact with the general transcription factor s and RNA polymerase II . An enhancer may be located Upstream and downstream DNA upstream or downstream of the gene that it regulates. Furthermore, an enhancer does not need to be located near to the Transcription genetics transcription initiation site to affect the transcription of a gene, as some have been found to bind several hundred thousand base pairs upstream or downstream of the start site. Enhancers do not act on the promoter region itself, but are bound by activator proteins. These activator proteins interact with the mediator coactivator mediator complex , which recruits polymerase II and the general transcription factors which then begin transcribing the genes. Enhancers can also be found within intron s. An enhancer s orientation ... DNA and the evolution of human specific traits , Nature , 471 7337, pages 216 219, March ... more details
