Objectives of the Course Define the basics concepts and approaches to examine molecular evolution.
Analyse variety and organization of genomes in a phylogenetic perspective.
Course Content Molecular Evolution class is offered at undergraduate level to MBG students at Abdullah Gul University. In this course, the principles of evolution, molecular evolution and phylogenetic issues will be taught. The lecture also covers specific topics including DNA polymorphisms, molecular evolutionary trees, molecular clocks, gene count and genome size, organelle and nuclear genetic markers, genetic mutations and selection, evolution of multiple gene families, gene duplications, transpositions, and gene transpositions.
Course Methods and Techniques Lectures, particular talks by prominent scientists, quizzes, articles will be included within the course content.
