Skills to be acquired in this module | ++ biological knowledge ++ knowledge of biological working methods ++ biologically relevant knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics + statistics & scientific programming ++ interdisciplinary knowledge & thinking ++ abstract, logical, analytical thinking ++ deepened expertise in biological specialist field The field of molecular ecology examines relationships among genotypes, phenotypes and the environment to explain evolution and diversity of organisms. The lecture will introduce basics in genomics, molecular evolution and population genetics to explore properties of the genome and the organism from an evolutionary perspective. Central aspects are the adaptation of species to their environment and ecological change, speciation, the genetic basis of phenotypic change. Methods and data used in genomics and molecular ecology will be introduced during the lecture and exercises. |
Module contents | Lecture: the lecture conveys knowledge about the fields of genomics, evolution and organismic biology. Moreover laboratory methods as well as basics and background information on the analysis of genetic and genomic datasets are given. Excercise: Modern data sets and up to date methods in genomics and population genetics are introduced. The practical emphasizes computer based data analyses. |
