Question

What is a founder effect? How do you determine the age of a mutation? How is a dispersion route determined? How founder effect, determining the age of a mutations, and dispersion route link with ethnicity and disease risk?
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "<I>'founder effect'</I>" to get these possible sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founder_effect
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/06/3/l_063_03.html

http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ridley/a-z/Founder_effect.asp
http://www.bookrags.com/research/founder-effect-gen-02/

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
