BIO-3510: Population genetics Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
Provide an understanding of the genetic changes that occur within and among populations in the nature. | Contents
The course gives an introduction to population genetics. The following main themes will be covered: detection and measurements of genetic variation; evolutionary effects of mutation, migration, selection and small population size (random drift); molecular population genetics incl. neutral vs. selection theories for genetic variation; studies of multifactorial traits that are influenced by many genes plus the environment incl. artificial selection of those (breeding genetics). Practical applications of populaton genetics will be exemplified from fishery biology and other aquatic/ecological fields. | Compulsory prerequisites
