Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Former Genetics in Ecology. In this lecture series we will present genetics and epigenetics mechanisms underlying microbial genome plasticity and phenotypic heterogeneity (e.g., hypermutable DNA, mobile genetic elements, DNA methylation, DNA-associated proteins, noncoding RNA, etc), all of which are relevant for evolutionary and ecological research fields.
