Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Aims: Students are familiar with different concepts and methods of phylogenetic-evolutionary analyses of DNA sequence data (single loci, phylogeneomic data, SNPs) and can apply those to questions in systematic and evolutionary biologyContent: Evolutionary analyses using free software packages (e.g., PAUP, RAxML, BEAST) with emphasis on phylogeny reconstruction, molecular dating and analysis of phylogenomic data, including coalescent methods.Methods: Short introductory lectures; student exercises on provided data sets applying different methods
Assessment and permitted materials
Short protocols on home exercises (one exercise per course unit).
For protocols delivered until 14th February, feedback will be sent back to the students, allowing them to correct and improve the protocol (if necessary); protocols delivered after the 14th February will be graded as is. Only protocols delivered before the end of February will be considered.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
One home exercise per unit, each to be documented in the form of a short and concise protocol. Each protocol can get (on average) maximally 5 points, totaling 40 points for the entire course.Minimum requirement for positive credit: 20.5 pointsCredit key:
0-20 points: 5
20.5-25 points: 4
25.5-30 points: 3
30.5-35 points: 2
35.5-40 points: 1
0-20 points: 5
20.5-25 points: 4
25.5-30 points: 3
30.5-35 points: 2
35.5-40 points: 1
Examination topics
Application of the concepts and methods presented during the course in the form of dedicated exercises (one per course unit)
