Genetics and Evolutionary Genomics 2

The module addresses the theoretical and empirical advances of recent research in evolutionary genetics through some major issues:

- theme 1: genetic burden and evolution of reproductive systems: recombination, sex/sex, auto/allo fertilization

- theme 2 : Matching structures and their evolutionary consequences : kinship selection, group selection, evolution of cooperation, sex ratios

- theme 3: sustainable interactions between species: parasitism, mutualism, coevolution

- theme 4: traces of evolutionary history in genomes, genomics of adaptation.

To have a clear vision of the theories underlying major issues in evolutionary genetics (mutations, evolution of reproductive systems and recombination, evolution of cooperation, parasitic and symbiotic interactions and their possible experimental tests, adaptation) and of their application/testing with genomic tools

"Students should have done in M1 population genetics (M1 module ""GE1""), statistics, and evolution."
