Genetic Analysis BIOR92
7,5 credits
This course provides an understanding of how genetic variation and inheritance work at both individual and population levels. You will gain tools to analyse genetic data and apply your knowledge in medicine, plant breeding, and evolutionary biology.
Overview
During this course, you will learn about population genetics and its applications. You will understand how genes function at individual, family, and population levels. The course covers topics spanning from segregation and crossbreeding analysis to population and quantitative genetic theory. You will also use mathematical models to analyse genetic data.
After completing the course, you will be well equipped to work in medical genetics, plant breeding, or evolutionary biology. The course also provides a solid foundation for further studies in genetics, bioinformatics, and related fields.
Teaching and learning
The teaching includes lectures, analytical exercises, computational exercises, written assignments and seminars. Some components are mandatory, such as exercises and written assignments. The course concludes with a final written exam.
