300369 UE Genomic approaches to variation, adaptation and speciation (2023S)

Population genomics and genome evolution from next-generation sequencing data, such as whole-genome sequencing, target capture, RAD sequencing and transcriptomics. We will exemplify genomic investigation procedures to trace natural selection, genetic ancestry, function, structure and gene-environment interactions, starting with introducing basic omic approaches, such as de novo assembly and mapping. Attendance of the complementary lecture VO300127 (WS) is recomended. Students that have taken this lecture and have also passed the exam will be given priority for this complementary practical.
