| Kursustype | Ph.d.-kursus |
| Undervisningssprog | Engelsk |
| Kursusindhold | |
| Estimation of genetic diversity, F-statistics, inbreeding level, gene flow, population and paternity as-signment, population admixture, hybridization. Assumptions and limitations of methods, and practical exercises with relevant computer programs such as: GenAlEx, Structure, Cervus, Population Graph, Geneland, Split tree, New Hybrids, AFLPOP, GeneClass2. Discussion of selected student projects | |
| Undervisningsform | |
| The course includes theoretical lectures, exercises and practicals with various computer programmes as well as discussions of student projects. The course is taught by staff at University of Copenhagen and other Danish Universities as well as Professor Peter Smouse, Rutgers University, one of the developers of GenAlEx, a widely used software for population genetic analysis. | |
| Målbeskrivelse | |
| The students will learn how to critically analyse genetic population structures and processes based on data from molecular markers. Beyond the technical aspects, the student will understand the assumptions behind the applied analytical approaches and the limitations they provides. | |
