EEMB6465 (Ecological and Conservation Genomics) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Provides an overview of ecological and evolutionary genomics. Covers foundational mathematical concepts in population in quantitative genetics, from individual loci up to whole genomes. Concepts covered include Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, F statistics, signatures of natural selection in genomes and methods for detecting them, analysis of quantitative genetic evolution, hybridization, and gene expression. Also covers modern statistical methods used to analyze genomic data using the free and open source R programming environment. Builds knowledge through reading of the primary literature and advanced problem sets. The final project requires students to complete a novel data analysis of an open source genomics data set and write a research paper.
