Biology: Genetic Analysis

Education facts

Code: BIOR92

<p>BIOR92</p><p>Genetic analysis is an advanced course covering transmission genetics (including linkage analysis), quantitative genetics and population genetics. It is assumed that the students already have passed a basic course in genetics. The part covering transmission genetics includes both Mendelian and non-Mendelian phenomena. In particular, the students are trained to deduce modes of inheritance from experimental crosses as well as from pedigree data. Another important part is linkage analysis and mapping, where among other things the concept of map-function is introduced. The section in population genetics covers parts of the classical foundations of this subject. Mostly, this section concerns the effect of selection and random effects on allele and genotype frequencies. Through the whole course a strong emphasis is put on problem solving.</p><p>https://www.biologyeducation.lu.se/genetic-analysis-bior92</p>
