The course will consist of lectures, tutorials and computer-based exercises on the following subjects.
- Genomics - next generation sequencing, database searching, advanced skills in data handling and bioinformatics
- Population genomics - diversity, structure, connectivity and gene flow, population dynamics, adaptive variation
- Environmental genomics - environment, genome interactions, ecogenomics, metagenomics and metagenetics
- Functional genomics - genome structure, molecular evolution at the functional level, genomic architecture, functional networks
- Comparative genomics - whole genome comparisons, concatenated phylogenies, genome organization, annotating genomic information, co-evolution
Lectures and discussions on applications, a simulation exercise, site visit and local excursion are scheduled.
