ECL 290 - participatory seminar - concepts & literature to accompany ECL2xx Landsc Gen course above
Student Participatory Seminar. Student driven and presented topics include: journal papers, use and application of software for landscape genetic data analysis; pop genetics; spatial analysis of genetic data
Contact: Holly ErnestMolecular Genetic Markers for Ecology, Conservation, and Population Health
ECL 290 for graduate students - has been offered periodically in past when need presents or students are interested
*Note that all of this material presented in ECL242 (course above) so perhaps no longer needed as ECL290*
Student Participatory Seminar. Student driven and presented topics include a survey of the range of molecular genetic tools and techniques (primarily DNA-based) used in ecological studies (Whole Genome, SNPs, microsatellites, sequence data, introns, AFLP, gene expression markers, cDNA, and lots more!).
