Title: Genetics of Human Populations
Description: This advanced seminar will survey the evolutionary history of modern humans and the genetic basis of variation in our species through reading and discussion of classic and contemporary primary literature. Topics include the evolutionary origins of modern human populations, signatures of natural selection in the human genome, and approaches for discovering genetic variants that affect disease susceptibility and variation in normal traits. Significant emphasis will be placed on very recent advances made possible by the human genome project.
Prerequisites: EEB 309, EEB 320, or MOL 342, or CHM 236/COS 236/MOL236/PHY236. Strong familiarity with genetics and molecular biology.
Professors: Leonid Kruglyak, Peter Andolfatto
