Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will:
1) identify and compare large segments of genomes to study biological similarities and differences
2) understand the relationships of genes to various biological systems
3) know and use comparative genomic and phylogenomic tools to study mechanisms of evolution
4) predict and identify gene function
5) describe the evolution of gene families
6) identify and trace horizontal gene transfer.
General Competences
