(last updated on 2024/04/23)Abstract:
This inquiry-based laboratory introduces students to evolutionary genetics using bioinformatics and biocuration. The exercise focuses on manual curation and analysis of genome sequences from closely related species. Students assess computationally-generated alignments and annotations of multiple genes from population genomic data sets; repair alignment errors; apply population genetic tests for natural selection; and finally, interpret the results and hypothesize about the nature of selective forces in the context of function information available for the genes.
