Selection, genetic drift, migration, mutation & recombination, genome evolution, sequence evolution, neutral theory, neutrality tests, introduction to quantitative geneticsGoals:
The students have gained a fundamental understanding of the evolutionary process within populations and species. They recognize selection, mutation, recombination, migration, and genetic drift as the forces to drive this process and can describe the evolutionary consequences of these forces in a quantitative model. They are able to capture and to interpret the genotypic and phenotypic patterns created by evolution on the population level.
