Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

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 is recomended.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Active participation in the practical - 2 points; discussion of the results with the group - 6 points; 3 homeworks each with 4 points; thus totaling 20 points.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The students are able to understand and apply basic pipelines in genomics (e.g., quality check and filtering of NGS reads; mapping; vcf manipulation; differential expression; SNP calling), and they have good knowledge and skills in the fields of evolutionary and ecological research.

Credit key: <10 points: 5; 10-11.9 points: 4; 12-14.9 points: 3; 15-17.9 points 2; 18-20 points: 1.
