Selected tags:
#molecular evolution
Demonstrate an understanding of molecular phylogenetics, including the concept of tracing the evolution history of genes (e.g. gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer).
[
BIOL 1010
]
Understand the concepts and role genetics plays in conservation of marine mammals
[
BIOL 3090
]
Comprehend different evolutionary models for genetic load and how these led to the neutral theory of molecular evolution. Understand and describe the “Neutral theory” and the “nearly neutral theory”. Know the major predictions of neutral theory and give examples where predictions have been validated with real molecular data. Comprehend both the benefits and pitfalls of neutral theory.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Comprehend the complexity of homology relationships under a variety of different molecular evolutionary processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Demonstrate the relationship between critical thinking and good scholarship within a course project.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Know mechanisms for functional divergence at the molecular level that span a wide range of biological complexity. Understand how specific models of adaptive evolution explain real examples of functional divergence.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Know updates and extensions to Darwinian theory that led to modern theory. Comprehend and explain principles arising from the neo-Darwinian synthesis and neutral theory.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand how explicit models of population genetic processes serve as the theoretical foundation for microevolution. Apply these models to understand different mechanisms of evolution acting on real biological data.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand how molecular evolutionary processes give rise to patterns of genetic diversity that we observe in the natural world, and how to use those patterns to make inferences about different processes.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the evolutionary significance of mutations at different levels of complexity. Apply evolutionary theory to understand impacts of mutations on fitness, rates of molecular evolution and genetic control of mutation.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Understand the importance of molecular evolution in the post-genomic era, and be able to explain this to non-specialists.
[
BIOL 3046
]
Use knowledge of molecular evolution for clear and explicit communication and exchange of ideas about the topic within a course project.
