Ancient DNA and Evolution
The course will provide participants with a general introduction to the study of evolution and paleoenvironmental reconstruction using ancient DNA and other biomolecules.
Course description
Content
In a series of interactive lectures and practicals, we will cover diverse topics including basics in evolutionary biology, palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, demographic inferences from genetic data, and the spread and evolution of domesticated plants and animals. In addition, the course will include a 3-week wet-lab practical introducing basic molecular techniques. The GLOBE Institute at KU is a leader in this field, and the course will showcase some of the ground-breaking research currently being carried out at the institution.
