Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Population genomics and genome evolution from next-generation sequencing data, such as whole-genome sequencing, RAD sequencing and transcriptomics. We will exemplify genomic investigation procedures to trace natural selection, genetic ancestry, function, structure and gene-environment interactions, starting if required with introducing basic omic approaches, such as de novo assembly and mapping.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written protocol 8 points; two short written exams 3 points each; mini presentation 6 points; thus totalling 20 points.
Credit key: <10 points: 5; 11-12 points: 4; 13-14 points: 3; 15-17 points 2; 18-20 points: 1.
Credit key: <10 points: 5; 11-12 points: 4; 13-14 points: 3; 15-17 points 2; 18-20 points: 1.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
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.
Examination topics
