    Description

    This course deals with advanced concepts in the inheritance of genes and traits. Extensions of Mendelian genetics include gene interaction, recombination, and quantitative genetics. Topics in population genetics include Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and its extensions, Wright-Fisher populations, the coalescent, linkage disequilibrium, and molecular population genetics. The course emphasizes theory and applications, the latter including conservation, biomedical, and forensic genetics. Prerequisite: BIO 236 or BIO 231.
