Introductory Course to Population Genetics Theory and RAD-seq Data Analysis
In this course, participants will learn the fundamentals of population genetics theory and how to apply it to infer population processes and species history. We will examine how patterns of genetic diversity change over time and the processes driving these changes. Additionally, we will analyze microevolutionary processes, their impact on species diversity, and how to reconstruct species histories. The goal is to understand how evolutionary processes generate patterns and changes that shape biodiversity over time and space.
The second module of the course will focus on one of the primary methods for investigating genetic diversity in populations with limited or no reference genomes: RAD-seq (restriction site-associated DNA sequencing). Over three days, participants will learn how to generate and analyze RAD-seq data and apply widely used population genetics methods.
