Evolutionary Biology - Spring 2013
E&EB 225 01 (22352) /E&EB 525
An overview of evolutionary biology as the discipline uniting all of the life sciences. Reading and discussion of scientific papers to explore the dynamic aspects of evolutionary biology. Principles of population genetics, paleontology, and systematics; application of evolutionary thinking in disciplines such as developmental biology, ecology, microbiology, molecular biology, and human medicine. TTh 10.30-11.20, 1 HTBA
Using Genomic Methods to Solve Evolutionary Problems - Fall 2012
E&EB 718 01 (13466)
Modern technologies that provide in-depth information about genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes have revolutionized how we can investigate evolutionary processes. This course will examine some of the major questions in evolutionary biology and show how the incorporation of genomic approaches has helped to resolve several longstanding issues in evolutionary biology and to merge evolutionary biology with other areas of biology. The course will reflect student interests, but likely evolutionary questions will involve the roles of natural selection, genetic drift and mutation in shaping organismal traits, species formation, coevolution of lineages, and phylogenomics.
