Classes

This course delves into genomics to explore two fundamental questions: “What makes us human?” and “Why do we vary as individuals?” It introduces advanced concepts and methodologies in human evolutionary genomics, with topics such as human genomic variation, ancient admixture, gene-environment interactions, adaptive developmental evolution, nature versus nurture, genetic bases of disease, and experimental and statistical approaches to link genotype with phenotype.

Designed for students in biological sciences and related fields who have a keen interest in evolutionary genetics and human genomic variation, this course is also suitable for advanced students in biomedical sciences, anthropology, and other related disciplines. By the end of this course, students will have a solid grasp of the latest theoretical frameworks and methodologies in human evolutionary genomics.
