Course description

This course emphasizes the theory and practice of applying genetics approaches to ecological and evolutionary questions. The structure of the course allows students to select one of three possible problems to study based on their area of interest. After a few weeks of background lectures and practicals, students break up into these small groups to explore their problem in conjunction with a lecturer. The course ends with poster presentations on the results of the research group project. This course will provide students with a cohesive framework and core tools and techniques for doing research at the intersection of ecology, evolution, and genetics.
