Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Students learn essential concepts in evolutionary and population genomics from next-generation sequencing data including genome assembly, detecting Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and Copy Number Variants (CNV´s), genomic investigation procedures to trace natural selection during adaptation and speciation, Genome Wide Association Scanning (GWAS) in wild species, genomic and geographic clines and the impact of hybridization and gene flow on genomes, structural and functional aspects of genomes, and gene-environment interactions.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The exam will be organized towards the end of the semester as a scientific discussion (oral) focused on one topic of students' interest plus 2-3 background questions from other topics. All questions are derived from the scripts of the lectures which are available to the students. Duration 20-25 min.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The minimum requirement is to answer at least 50% of the questions in the exam. The grade results from the number of points achieved.
The students understand essential concepts behind current key genomic approaches for studying variation, adaptation, and speciation. They are able to choose suitable genomic approaches for addressing specific questions in the modern life sciences in general, and in ecology & evolutionary biology in particular.
Grading scale: <50% questions answered grade 5; 50-61% grade 4; 62-73% grade 3; 74-85% grade 2; 86-100% grade 1.
Attendance of the complementary UE 300369 (summer semester) and seminar (SE 300164, winter semester) is recommended for students wishing to go deeper into ecological & evolutionary genomics during their MSc or PhD projects.
