Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar focuses on a particular topic each semester and aims to illuminate it using a series of papers, including classical seminal papers that have set the stage as well as recent developments. In the WS, we will focus on "evolvability," the genetic and developmental properties that enable organisms to evolve.
Assessment and permitted materials
Each student gives a seminar on one of the papers from the list. Reading of all papers is however required in order to participate in the discussion. Discussion and presentation are in English.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Presentation and discsussion.
