Course Description:
This course covers fundamentals of evolutionary biology in theory and practice at
both the molecular and organismal level. Students will be introduced to the
conceptual premise of biological processes and phenomena like speciation, gene
flow, genetic mutation, whole genome evolution, selection, hybridization, and
competition. These concepts will be reinforced through analysis of real data using
computational tools implemented in R and a Unix environment. |
