| Learning objectives | This course will cover four main domains in modern evolutionary genetics - Bioinformatics, Molecular Evolution, Population Genetics and Genotype-phenotype Interactions. The joint treatment of the four domains in a single course provides an integrated training in Evolutionary Genetics. This discipline is nowadays of increasing importance in other biological fields such as Conservation Biology, Ecology, Behavioural and Evolutionary Ecology, Behaviour Genetics, Epidemiology of infectious diseases and Evolutionary Biology in general. The course consists of both lectures and exercises. In the lectures we discuss concepts and methods based on research examples. The exercises should help to better understand the theoretical aspects and provide hands-on experiences. |
